Solution
CE 19-1
(a) Option A:
(a) Direct materials used = $175,575 – 46,500 – 47,000 = $82,075
(b) Work in process 1/1/17 = $197,075 – 175,575 = $21,500
(c) Work in process 12/31/17 = $197,075 – 162,844 = $34,231
Option B:
(b) Option A results in the lowest cost of goods manufactured by using moderately priced
materials and reasonable labor and manufacturing overhead charges. However, the
materials’ supplier does not guarantee that the materials will always be available in the
quantities needed by Banta Company. This could result in slowdowns in production and
missed deadlines nullifying any savings.
