Exercise 2 (Backflush journal entries and JIT production) The Lim Company has a plant that manufacturers transistor radios. The production time is only a few minutes per unit. The company uses a just-in- time production system and a backflush costing system with two trigger points for journal entries: Purchase of direct (raw) materials Completion of good finished units of product There are no beginning inventories. The following data pertain to April manufacturing: Direct (raw) materials purchased P8,800,000 Direct (raw) materials used 8,500,000 Conversion costs incurred 4,220,000 Allocation of conversion costs 4,000,000 Costs transferred to finished goods 12,500,000 Cost of goods sold 11,900,000 Required: 1. Prepare summary journal entries for April (without disposing of under- or overallocated conversion costs). Assume no direct materials variances. 2. Post the entries in requirement 1 to T-accounts for applicable Inventory Control, Conversion Costs Control, Conversion Costs Allocated and Cost of Goods Sold. 3. Under an ideal JIT production system, how would the amounts in your journal entries differ from those in requirement 1?

No entry for DM used. If you can notice in recording the completed goods, the credit on RIP was only 12.5M but the total of previous entries in this account is 12.8M (8.8M + 4M). There is a difference of 300k, this difference might be due to materials purchased vs materials used. Not all materials were used in production.

 

For requirement 3, the difference is that in JIT the production will only be based on how much was needed. So this means that, produced units will be the same as sold. No ending inventory. All the goods produced and completed will be sold. So basically, finished goods = COGS

 

For inventory control, entry D should be equal to 12.8M. Finished goods will also be equal to COGS of 11.9M.
