Given the following information, prepare a production report with materials added at the beginning and ending work in process inventory being 25% complete with regard to conversion costs.
K-Briggs Company uses the FIFO method to account for the costs of production. For Crushing, the first processing department, the following equivalent units schedule has been prepared: The cost per equivalent unit for the period was as follows: The cost of beginning work in process was direct materials, 40,000; conversion costs, 30,000. Required: 1. Determine the cost of ending work in process and the cost of goods transferred out. 2. Prepare a physical flow schedule.
The charges to Work in ProcessAssembly Department for a period, together with information concerning production, are as follows. All direct materials are placed in process at the beginning of production. Determine the following: a. The number of units in work in process inventory at the end of the period b. Equivalent units of production for direct materials and conversion c. Costs per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion d. Cost of the units started and completed during the period
The following information concerns production in the Finishing Department for May. The Finishing Department uses the weighted average method. a. Determine the number of units in work in process inventory at the end of the month. b. Determine the number of whole units to be accounted for and to be assigned costs and the equivalent units of production for May. Assume that direct materials are placed in process during production.
Seacrest Company uses a process-costing system. The company manufactures a product that is processed in two departments: A and B. As work is completed, it is transferred out. All inputs are added uniformly in Department A. The following summarizes the production activity and costs for November: Required: 1. Using the weighted average method, prepare the following for Department A: (a) a physical flow schedule, (b) an equivalent unit calculation, (c) calculation of unit costs (Note: Round to four decimal places.), (d) cost of EWIP and cost of goods transferred out, and (e) a cost reconciliation. 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Prepare journal entries that show the flow of manufacturing costs for Department A. Use a conversion cost control account for conversion costs. Many firms are now combining direct labor and overhead costs into one category. They are not tracking direct labor separately. Offer some reasons for this practice.
The following data appeared in the accounting records of Craig Manufacturing Inc., which uses the weighted average cost method: Case 1All materials are added at the beginning of the process, and labor and factory overhead are added evenly throughout the process. Case 2One-half of the materials are added at the start of the manufacturing process, and the balance of the materials is added when the units are one-half completed. Labor and factory overhead are applied evenly during the process. Make the following computations for each case: a. Unit cost of materials, labor, and factory overhead for the month b. Cost of the units finished and transferred during the month c. Cost of the units in process at the end of the month
Sonoma Products Inc. manufactures a liquid product in one department. Due to the nature of the product and the process, units are regularly lost during production. Materials and conversion costs are added evenly throughout the process. The following summaries were prepared for March: Calculate the unit cost for materials, labor, and factory overhead for March and show the costs of units transferred to finished goods and to ending work in process inventory.
The increases to Work in ProcessRoasting Department for Highlands Coffee Company for May as well as information concerning production are as follows: Prepare a cost of production report for May, using the weighted average method. Assume that direct materials are placed in process during production.
Lacy, Inc., produces a subassembly used in the production of hydraulic cylinders. The subassemblies are produced in three departments: Plate Cutting, Rod Cutting, and Welding. Materials are added at the beginning of the process. Overhead is applied using the following drivers and activity rates: Other data for the Plate Cutting Department are as follows: Required: 1. Prepare a physical flow schedule. 2. Calculate equivalent units of production for: a. Direct materials b. Conversion costs 3. Calculate unit costs for: a. Direct materials b. Conversion costs c. Total manufacturing 4. Provide the following information: a. The total cost of units transferred out b. The journal entry for transferring costs from Plate Cutting to Welding c. The cost assigned to units in ending inventory
The following data show the units in beginning work in process inventory, the number of units started, the number of units transferred, and the percent completion of the ending work in process for conversion. Given that materials are added 50% at the beginning of the process and 50% at the end of the process, what are the equivalent units for material and conversion costs for each quarter using the weighted-average method? Assume that the quarters are independent.
The Converting Department of Tender Soft Tissue Company uses the weighted average method and had 1,900 units in work in process that were 60% complete at the beginning of the period. During the period, 15,800 units were completed and transferred to the Packing Department. There were 1,200 units in process that were 30% complete at the end of the period. a. Determine the number of whole units to be accounted for and to be assigned costs for the period. b. Determine the number of equivalent units of production for the period. Assume that direct materials are placed in process during production.
Which of the following product situations is better suited to job order costing than to process costing? A. Each product batch is exactly the same as the prior batch. B. The costs are easily traced to a specific product. C. Costs are accumulated by department. D. The value of work in process is based on assigning standard costs.
