Brody Corporation uses a process costing system in which all direct materials are added at the beginning of the process, and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. Beginning inventory for January consisted of 1,050 units that were 65% completed. During January, 10,900 units were started into the process. On January 31, the inventory consisted of 500 units that were 50% completed. What would be the total equivalent units for conversion cost for January, using the weighted-average method? Multiple Choice 11,250 10,900 11,950 11,700

Narwhal Swimwear has a beginning work in process inventory of 13,500 units and transferred in 130,000 units before ending the month with 14,000 units that were 100% complete with regard to materials and 30% complete with regard to conversion costs. The cost per unit of material is $5.80 and the cost per unit for conversion is $8.20 per unit. Using the weighted-average method, what is the amount of material and conversion costs assigned to the department for the month?
During March, the following costs were charged to the manufacturing department: $22,500 for materials; $45,625 for labor; and $50,000 for manufacturing overhead. The records show that 40,000 units were completed and transferred, while 10,000 remained in ending inventory. There were 45,000 equivalent units of material and 42,500 units of conversion costs. Using the weighted-average method, prepare the companys process cost summary for the month.
During December, Krause Chemical Company had the following selected data concerning the manufacture of Xyzine, an industrial cleaner: All materials are added at the beginning of processing in this department, and conversion costs are added uniformly during the process. The beginning work in process inventory had 120 of raw materials and 180 of conversion costs incurred. Materials added during December were 540, and conversion costs of 1,484 were incurred. Krause uses the first-in, first-out (FIFO) process cost method. The equivalent units of production used to compute conversion costs for December were: a. 110 units. b. 104 units. c. 100 units. d. 92 units.
Using the same data found in Exercise 6.22, assume the company uses the FIFO method. Required: Prepare a schedule of equivalent units, and compute the unit cost for the month of December. Fordman Company has a product that passes through two processes: Grinding and Polishing. During December, the Grinding Department transferred 20,000 units to the Polishing Department. The cost of the units transferred into the second department was 40,000. Direct materials are added uniformly in the second process. Units are measured the same way in both departments. The second department (Polishing) had the following physical flow schedule for December: Costs in beginning work in process for the Polishing Department were direct materials, 5,000; conversion costs, 6,000; and transferred in, 8,000. Costs added during the month: direct materials, 32,000; conversion costs, 50,000; and transferred in, 40,000.
Heap Company manufactures a product that passes through two processes: Fabrication and Assembly. The following information was obtained for the Fabrication Department for September: a. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. b. Beginning work in process had 80,000 units, 30 percent complete with respect to conversion costs. c. Ending work in process had 17,000 units, 25 percent complete with respect to conversion costs. d. Started in process, 95,000 units. Required: 1. Prepare a physical flow schedule. 2. Compute equivalent units using the weighted average method. 3. Compute equivalent units using the FIFO method.
Holmes Products, Inc., produces plastic cases used for video cameras. The product passes through three departments. For April, the following equivalent units schedule was prepared for the first department: Costs assigned to beginning work in process: direct materials, 90,000; conversion costs, 33,750. Manufacturing costs incurred during April: direct materials, 75,000; conversion costs, 220,000. Holmes uses the weighted average method. Required: 1. Compute the unit cost for April. 2. Determine the cost of ending work in process and the cost of goods transferred out.
Chavez Concrete Inc. has two production departments. Blending had 1,000 units in process at the beginning of the period, two-fifths complete. During the period 7,800 units were received from Mixing, 8,200 units were transferred to the finished goods storeroom, and 600 units were in process at the end of the period, 1/3 complete. The cost of the beginning work in process was: The costs during the month were: 1. Using the data in E5-15, prepare a cost of production summary for the month ended January 31, 2016. 2. Prepare a journal entry to transfer the cost of the completed units from Blending to the finished goods storeroom.
The standard cost summary for the most popular product of Phenom Products Co. is shown as follows, together with production and cost data for the period. One gallon each of liquid lead and varnish are added at the start of processing. The balance of the materials is added when the process is two-thirds complete. Labor and overhead are added evenly throughout the process. There were no units in process at the beginning of the month. Required: Calculate equivalent production for materials, labor, and overhead. (Be sure to refer to the standard cost summary to help determine the percentage of materials in ending work in process.) Calculate materials and labor variances and indicate whether they are favorable or unfavorable, using the diagram format shown in Figure 8-4. Determine the cost of materials and labor in the work in process account at the end of the month.
Fordman Company has a product that passes through two processes: Grinding and Polishing. During December, the Grinding Department transferred 20,000 units to the Polishing Department. The cost of the units transferred into the second department was 40,000. Direct materials are added uniformly in the second process. Units are measured the same way in both departments. The second department (Polishing) had the following physical flow schedule for December: Costs in beginning work in process for the Polishing Department were direct materials, 5,000; conversion costs, 6,000; and transferred in, 8,000. Costs added during the month: direct materials, 32,000; conversion costs, 50,000; and transferred in, 40,000. Required: 1. Assuming the use of the weighted average method, prepare a schedule of equivalent units. 2. Compute the unit cost for the month.
Clearwater Candy Co. had a cost per equivalent pound for the month of 4.56 for materials, 1.75 for labor, and 1.00 for overhead. During the month, 10,250 lb were completed and transferred to finished goods. The 3,200 lb in ending work in process were 100% complete as to materials and 60% complete as to labor and overhead. At the beginning of the month, 1,500 lb were in process, 100% complete as to materials and 50% complete as to labor and overhead. The beginning inventory had a cost of 8,775. Clearwater uses FIFO costing. Required: 1. Calculate the cost of the pounds completed and transferred to finished goods. 2. Calculate the cost of the ending work in process.
The records of Stone Inc. reflect the following data: Work in process, beginning of month4,000 units one-fourth completed at a cost of 2,500 for materials, 1,400 for labor, and 1,800 for overhead.

Work in process, end of month5,000 units, one-half completed. Compute the months unit cost for each element of manufacturing cost and the total per unit cost. (Round unit costs to three decimal places.)
The finishing department started the month with 600 units in WIP inventory. Lt received 1,500 units from the molding department and ended the month with 550 units still in process. How many units were transferred out?
