i took accounting too long ago to remember the formulas for each of those problems, so i'd just end up looking them up. just google each one and follow the steps, it's not hard.

i'm the best mayne, i deed it

yeah you're right this isn't hard but for some reason the formulas i'm finding don't make any sense according to the information i'm given on the financial report.

example: the formula to find conversion costs is direct labor + overhead costs
im given the number for overhead costs but no number for direct labor.

that's how it is for the other formulas too. seems like i'm not given enough information to answer them

edit: nevermind i am given those two numbers to find that one but for the other formulas i'm given one variable but not the other. i chose a bad example lol

you may have to solve for the variable you're missing by using other amounts that you are provided with. i'm sure that every question can be solved with the information provided, it's just a matter of figuring out what you may have to solve first before you can solve the main question.

Prime Cost is the sum of direct labor and direct materials. 85k + 52k

Conversion Cost is direct labor and manufacturing overhead. 52k + 62k

Product costs is direct mateiral, labor, overhead. 85k + 62+ 52K

Last two should be easy from there.

1. The total of direct material costs, direct labor costs, and direct expenses.

2. direct labor plus overhead costs

3. The sum of all costs associated with the production of a specific quantity of a good or service.

4. direct materials used + direct labor + factory overhead + beginning goods in process - ending goods in process.

5. Beginning Inventory + Purchases - Ending Inventory = Cost of Goods Sold

Try to simplify the terms and add meaning to them, its easier like that for me. For example, Product Cost is the total amount to actually make the product. You need to incorporate everything into this, how to store the materials for the product, the materials, the labor. They all go into the product.

Conversion Cost. What you need to convert material to a product. You need the material and you need labor.

Hope I'm helping, this is a nice refresher on managerial accoutning before i start intermediate next week

mike dont i need the direct expenses too to find the prime costs? as i was saying to jaded earlier, some of the formulas seem to need numbers that aren't given to me in the financial report.

Formula I have written down is direct materials cost + direct labor cost. You may want to check your textbook or if you have lecture notes because there can be minor differences in equation subtleties.

Nah, accounting isn't for everyone.

Safe and secure job, sure, and I can do the work, but I never want to take an accounting class again.

Managerial Accounting ruined it for me (Fin. Accting was cool for me).

you know back in my days when we didn't have the internet to ask people to do our homework we went to school early like 6am to meet up with other people to help us with our homework vol get off your lazy ass and figure shit out

these are very easy questions when you boil it down to a mathematical expression it's like addition and division with words.

i'm a sr business analyst this should be a walk in the park kids if you can't figure this out I'd suggest paying more attention in class.

I ain't trying to argue or any of that. That's not me. I just didn't like how you talking about getting my lazy ass off the Internet and figuring it out myself when you don't even know the situation. 80% of the class wasn't understanding it because the material wasn't covered in class. It's all good though go on with your day and I'll go on with mine. I don't want to keep bumping this thread
