Texts: 6/22123-Prepare Process Flows for the following systems:
The Hershey Company (HSY) manufactures chocolate confectionery products. The three largest raw materials are cocoa, sugar, and dehydrated milk. These raw materials first go into the Blending Department. The blended product is then sent to the Molding Department, where the bars of candy are formed. The candy is then sent to the Packing Department, where the bars are wrapped and boxed. The boxed candy is then sent to the distribution center where it is eventually sold to food brokers and retailers.
Alcoa Inc. (AA) is the world's largest producer of aluminum products. One product that Alcoa manufactures is aluminum sheet products for the aerospace industry. The entire output of the Smelting Department is transferred to the Rolling Department. Part of the fully processed goods from the Rolling Department are sold as rolled sheet, and the remainder of the goods are transferred to the Converting Department for further processing into sheared sheet. Prepare a chart of the flow of costs from the processing department accounts into the finished goods accounts.
Equivalent Units of Production: The Converting Department of Toren Company had 19,200 units in work in process at the beginning of the period, which were 35% complete. During the period, 86,400 units were completed and transferred to the Packing Department. There were 15,200 units in process at the end of the period which were 60% complete. Direct materials are placed into the process at the beginning of production. Determine the number of equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials and conversion costs.
