Easy-Flow Paints produces mixer base paint through a two stage process, Mixing and Packaging. The following events depict the movement of value into and out of production. Journalize each event if appropriate, if not, provide a short narrative reason as to why you choose not to journalize that action.
Keith, the Production Manager, accepts an order to continue processing the current run of mixer base paint.
(a) $27,000.00 worth of materials are withdrawn from Raw Materials inventory. Of this amount, $25,500.00 will be issued to the Mixing Department and the balance will be issued to the Maintenance Department to be used on production line machines.
(b) Keith calculates that labor for the period is $12,500.00. Of this value all but $1,750.00 is directly associated with mixing. The balance is maintenance and indirect labor.
(c) Keith, who is paid a salary but earns about $35.00 / hour, spends 1 hour inspecting the production line.
(d) The manufacturing overhead drivers for Mixing are (1) hours of mixer time at $575.00 per hour, and material movements from Raw Materials at $125.00 per movement. An inspection of the machine timers reveals that a total of 8 hours has been consumed in making this product. An inspection of "Stocking Orders" indicates that only one material movement was utilized to "load" the raw materials.
