Accounting

Old Tyme Soda produces one flavor of a popular local soft drink. It had no work-in-process on October 31 in its only inventory account. During November, Old Tyme started 10,800 barrels. Work-in-process on November 30 is 1,600 barrels. The production supervisor estimates that the ending work-in-process inventory is 40 percent complete. An examination of Old Tymes accounting records shows direct material costs of $21,356 and conversion costs of $24,400 for November. All production is sold as it is produced.

Required:

a. Compute cost of goods sold for November.

b. What is the value of work-in-process inventory on November 30?

c. The president tells the controller that stock analysts expect higher income for the month and asks the controller to change the production managers estimate about the ending work-in-process inventory.

(1) If the controller wanted to comply with the presidents request, would he raise or lower the estimated percentage complete from the 40 percent estimate of the production supervisor?

(2) What should the controller do?
