To cut costs and increase output a new process was established. What was this process in manufacturing called?
To cut costs and increase output a new manufacturing process called automation was created. With automation came lower labor cost, increased productivity, and improved quality.
How can work in process control reduce manufacturing costs?
Any non-value adding process would increase the manufacturing cost. Therefore, it is very important to ensure that WIP is controlled in such a way that they go through the least or totally no waiting process, during the manufacturing process. Waiting process means a non-value adding process and it is a cost driver.
Abel companys manufacturing overhead is 20 percent of its total conversion costs If direct labor is 38000 and if direct material are 47000 the manufacturing overhead is?
Well, honey, if manufacturing overhead is 20% of total conversion costs, and direct labor is $38,000 and direct materials are $47,000, then total conversion costs would be $38,000 + $47,000 = $85,000. So, if manufacturing overhead is 20% of that, it would be 0.20 x $85,000 = $17,000. So, the manufacturing overhead would be $17,000.
What costs are inventoriable under GAAP for service organisation merchandising businesses and manufacturing businesses?

Abbey Company's manufacturing overhead is 60 percent of its total conversion costs If direct labor is 35000 and if direct materials are 55000 the manufacturing overhead is?
Conversion Cost (CC) = Direct Labour (DL) + Manufacturing Overhead (MO) CC = 35000 + (35000/40)*60 Therefor, M0 = (35000/40)*60 = 52500

B. Direct materials, direct labor, and variable manufacturing overhead.
How fixed manufacturing overhead costs shifted from one period to another under absorption costing.?
What arguments are there in favor of treating fixed manufacturing overhead costs as product costs? As period costs?
What is the difference in the flow of costs between manufacturing and service organizations?
In a service organisation which uses job-order costing, the cost of inputs brought from outside (subcontracted work) is comparable to the cost of direct materials used in a manufacturing organisation. Similarly, the direct staff costs in a service organisation correspond with the direct labour costs in a manufacturing organisation. The office overhead expenses in a service organisation is similar to the manufacturing overhead in a manufacturing organisation. The cost of any completed work is simlar to the cost of finished goods inventory in a manufacturing organisation. Basically the names of the accounts used in a service organisation are different to those used in a manufacturing organisation. The work-in-process account in a service organisation would therefore have cost of subcontracted work, direct staff cost and office overhead cost on the debit side; the cost of completed work would be on the credit side. Other than the terminology, everything else in the flow of costs remains the same. The pre-determined overhead rate can be calculated by using an overhead allocation base such as direct staff costs and each completed job can be allocated with the appropriate portion of the estimated overhead based on the actual direct staff costs incurred on the project.
