this is all the data
Henkel Industries produces its product in two sequential departments: Blending and Forming. The old controller, who has just retired, has been manually preparing the production cost reports each month. The new controller would like you, as an intern, to develop an Excel production cost report for the month of MAY that will automatically calculate the cost per equivalent unit, etc., when the monthly information is dropped into Data area of the worksheet (the data area is shown as a blue box). The controller has provided you with a basic template, but needs to you finish the spreadsheet by adding formulas and cell references as needed. The only place she ever wants to type in numbers is in the blue box. Although there are two departments, the controller wants you to focus your attention on the Blending department until she is sure that your spreadsheet will provide accurate information. The controller has asked that you prepare production cost reports under both the Weighted Average Cost Method and the FIFO Method, so that the company can determine how to best assign costs to units produced. Before you begin to formulate the May spreadsheet, you'll need to get production and cost data for the month of May. Some of the information can be found on last month's (April's) manually-prepared production cost report, while other pieces of information can be found in the May general ledger. Ending inventory from April was 100% complete with respect to materials and 60% complete with respect to labor and overhead. In addition, the production supervisor has already reported that 220,000 units were started during May and 35,000 units were still in production, 80% of the way completed at the end of the month. During your initial plant tour, you found out that all of the direct materials were added at the very beginning of the Blending process. EXCEL HINTS Once you finish the spreadsheet, the controller has more questions and tasks for you (see the Additional Analysis worksheet after you have completed the May Production Cost Report under both the Weighted Average and FIFO methods.). - "Copy and paste" as much as possible rather than typing in numbers already on one of the spreadsheets (for example, some of the cost data in the general ledger). -An easy way to make a cell reference is type an = sign and then highlight the cell you want to put in (rather than typing it). STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS NOTE: Complete the Weighted Average Production Report first, then complete the FIFO Production report To multiply, use * To divide, use To add, use + To subtract, use - 1) Fill in the information about units and percentages of completion in the May blue box. FORMAT percentages as percentages (not decimals). Fill in the cost information in the May blue box. (Hint: Gather from April's cost report and from the General Ledger). FORMAT in DOLLARS (no cents). If you get a #**** # it simply means your column is not wide enough (if so, drag and drop the cell line so that the cell is wider). -Make use of the AutoSum button for adding cells together. -Use "Paste Special- Values" if what you are pasting is the result of a formula and you only want the number copied rather than the formula. 2) Use cell references and formulas to populate the production cost reports. For example, in cell E6 you should type in the following reference: = B3. In cell E8 you should type in the following formula: =SUM(E6:E7). NOTE: DO NOT TYPE IN ANY NUMBERS. ALL CELLS SHOULD CONTAIN FORMULAS OR REFERENCES TO CELLS IN THE BLUE BOX 3) Make sure all of the cost information is in dollars (use the dollar format button). 4) Clean up the spreadsheet formatting as necessary (for example, get rid of unnecessary decimal places; align numbers properly, etc.) 5) Once you finish the production cost report, go to the "Additional Analysis' worksheet for additional requirements and directions.

Show your calculations by listing each of the costs per EU from all of the departments that make up the total cost FORMAT the cost per unit in dollars and cents and HIGHLIGHT the total cost per unit. 3) During the month Henkel sold 180,000 of the units it produced during May at a sales price of $30 per unit. Operating expenses for the month totaled $525.000. The controller would like you to prepare a draft of the company's income statement. She would like you to include information about the gross profit per unit, as well as the total for the month, ending with operating income. Make sure you format everything in dollars and cents. Total 4) At the beginning of May, the company had no beginning Finished Goods (FG) inventory and no beginning Work-in-Process (WIP) inventory in the Forming Department. All units transferred out of the Blending Dept. in May also made it completely through the Forming Dept. in May. The controller would like you to prepare an analysis of the company's ending WIP and FG inventory at May 31. a) How many units are in each Department's Ending WIP? b) What is the cost balance for each Department's Ending WIP? How many units are in Finished Goods Inventory? d) What is the total cost balance in Finished Goods Inventory? 5) Although the controller determined that the Company should use the weighted Average Method to assign costs to units produced, she wants you to re-run your analysis to see what impact the using the FIFO method would have on A) total cost per unit, and B) the company's income statement for the month (Note that Foming department unit costs would not change since there was no beginning inventory - only inventory transferred in from the Blending Department). If the FIFO method was used, would operating income be higher or lower, and by how much? How could managers inflate eamings? 26 4) 27 Inventory Analysis 28 WIP-Blending 29 WIP-Forming 30 Finished Goods Units 33 35 36 32 5A) Total cost per unit (FIFO): Blending Direct Materials 34 Blending Conversion Costs Forming Direct Materials Forming Conversion Costs 37 Total cost per unit 38 5B) Henkel Industries Income Statement For the Month Ending May 31 Per unit Total a Difference in operating Increase or 49 income Decrease when 50 Briefly explain the reason for the difference. Also, if managers want to inflate earnings in a particular period, what can they do? Could managers manipulate earnings by changing their percentage of completion estimates?
