Chippity Inc. is a fast-growing manufacturer of computer chips. Direct materials are added at the start of the production process. Conversion costs are added evenly during the process. Some units
of this product are spoiled as a result of defects not detectable before inspection of finished goods. Spoiled units are disposed of at zero net disposal value. Chippity uses the weighted-average
method of process costing. Summary data for September are:

Calculate the total time it takes to produce a batch of 20 units using Andersons traditional departmental structure. 2. Using cellular manufacturing, how much time is saved producing the same batch of 20 units? Assuming the cell operates continuously, what is the production rate? Which process controls this production rate? 3. What if the processing times of molding, welding, and assembly are all reduced to six minutes each?

Arona Corporation manufactures canoes in two departments, Fabrication and Waterproofing. In the Fabrication Department, fiberglass panels are attached to a canoe- shaped aluminum frame. The canoes are then transferred to the Waterproofing department to be coated with sealant. Arona uses a weighted-average process cost system to collect costs in both departments. All materials in the Fabrication Department are added at the beginning of the production process. On July 1, the Fabrication Department had 30 canoes in process that were 20% complete with respect to conversion cost. On July 31, Fabrication had 20 canoes in process that were 40% complete with respect to conversion cost.
