3a. Two major estimates are the: i) overhead allocation rate, and ii)
percentage of completion for materials and conversion.
3b. Management might want an overhead allocation rate that assigns the
least amount of overhead to their respective production process, and
we might anticipate underestimation of the percentage of completion.
If materials are added at the beginning of the process, then this number
is difficult to “manage.” More typically, management might try to
underestimate the percentage complete because this reduces the
equivalent units for conversion. This results in lowering the dollar
value assigned to these components of ending inventory.
