Brian Canning Co
Brian Canning Co., which sells canned corn, uses an operation costing system. Cans of corn are classified as either sweet or regular, depending on the type of corn used. Both types of corn go through the separating and cleaning operations, but only regular corn goes through the creaming operation. During January, two batches of corn were canned from start to finish. Batch X consisted of 1,150 pounds of sweet corn, and Batch Y consisted of 1,050 pounds of regular corn. The company had no beginning or ending Work-in-Process Inventory. The following cost information is for the month of January:

Expert Solution
| Computation of Unit Cost for Sweet Corn and Regular Corn: | |||
| Raw sweet corn = ($7878/1150) = $ 6.85 | |||
| Raw regular corn = ($4043/1050) = $ 3.85 | |||
| Total pounds for Separating and Cleaning dept = (1150+1050) = 2,200 | |||
| Total pounds for creaming dept = 1,050 | |||
| Separating department cost = (2970/2200) = $ 1.35 | |||
| Cleaning department cost = (2090/2200) = $ 0.95 | |||
| Creaming department cost = (315/2200) = $ 0.14 | |||
| Total product cost per pound :- | |||
| Sweet corn = (6.85+1.35+0.95) = $9.15 | |||
| Regular corn = (3.85+1.35+0.95+0.14) = 6.29 |
