LECTURE 8 - READY-ROLL SKATEBOARDS – PRODUCTION DATA
For simplicity, certain unrealistic assumptions have been made in creating this production scenario:
Ready-Roll Skateboards produces one line of skateboards through two processes. In the first process
(assembly), the board is cut and shaped, ready for attachment of wheels and lacquering in the second process
(finishing). The lecture example focuses on the Finishing Process. In finishing, as soon as boards arrive at the
beginning of the conveyor belt, wheels are attached. Wheels are mechanically tightened as the boards move
along the conveyor belt, and supervisors oversee the process. At the end of the process the boards are sprayed
with lacquer. The following data relate to the past period for the Finishing Process.

Units
Opening WIP – 15,000 units 75% complete
Boards transferred in from process 1 - 10,000
Lacquered boards ready for sale - 19,000
Closing WIP – 6,000 units 2/3 complete
Costs
Opening WIP - $468,000 (T/I $210,000; DM (wheels) $120,000; DM (lacquer) 0; OH $138,000)
Transferred-in from Assembly - $150,000
Direct Materials (wheels – added at the beginning of the process) - $90,000
Direct Material (lacquer - added at the end of the process) - $38,000
Conversion costs: OH $46,000 (incurred uniformly throughout the process)
(Note: in this example, the only cost component of conversion cost is overhead. See the additional
example below which includes both DL and OH)

Additional Example (Adapted from Horngren et al, 2009)
Pacific Chemicals operates a thermo-assembly process as the final process in its plastics plant. In the
thermo-assembly process, direct materials are added half-way through the process, and conversion costs are
added evenly through the process. The product SG-40 is transferred to finished goods after emerging from
the process. 240 units were 40% of the way through the process at the beginning of the period, and 400 units
($52,000 costs attached) were transferred into thermo-assembly during the period. 440 units of SG-40 were
completed, and closing WIP was 80% of the way through the process. Costs in opening WIP totalled
$51,600, comprising $33,600 transferred in costs and $18,000 conversion costs. Costs added during the
period were $20,400 direct materials, $8,600 direct labour and $40,000 overhead.

Required:
1. Prepare a cost of production report, journal entries, and Work in Process account to reflect the data.
2. Direct labour and overhead are shown separately in the journal entry, yet are added together in the
cost of production report. Explain.
3. Would it be incorrect to show these two costs separately in the cost of production report?
4. Why is the amount in the opening WIP balance for direct material equal to 0?
5. What two check figures can you use in the above to have some confidence in the result of your work?
