High-End Products Inc. uses a standard cost system in accounting for the cost of production of its only product, Swank. The standards for the production of one unit of Swank follow: Direct materials: 10 feet of Class at $.75 per foot and 3 feet of Chic at $1.00 per foot. Direct labor: 4 hours at $12.00 per hour. Factory overhead: applied at 150% of standard direct labor costs. There was no beginning inventory on hand at July 1. Following is a summary of costs and related data for the production of Swank during the following year ended June 30: 100,000 feet of Class were purchased at $.72 per foot. 30,000 feet of Chic were purchased at $1.05 per foot. 8,000 units of Swank were produced that required 78,000 feet of Class, 26,000 feet of Chic, and 31,000 hours of direct labor at $11.80 per hour. 6,000 units of product Swank were sold. On June 30, there are 22,000 feet of Class, 4,000 feet of Chic, and 2,000 completed units of Swank on hand. All purchases and transfers are “charged in” at standard. Required: Calculate the following, using the formulas on pages 421–422 and 424 and compute the materials variances for both Class and Chic: Materials quantity variance. Materials purchase price variance. Labor efficiency variance. Labor rate variance.
Rexar had 1,000 units in beginning inventory before starting 9.500 units and completing 8,000 units. The beginning work in process inventory consisted of $5,000 in materials and $8,500 in conversion costs before $16,000 of materials and $18,500 of conversion costs were added during the month.

Prepare the journal entry to record the transfer of inventory from the manufacturing department to the finished goods department.
Kildeer Company makes easels for artists. During the last calendar year, a total of 30,000 easels were made, and 31,000 were sold for 52 each. The actual unit cost is as follows: The selling expenses consisted of a commission of 1.30 per unit sold and advertising copayments totaling 95,000. Administrative expenses, all fixed, equaled 183,000. There were no beginning and ending work-in-process inventories. Beginning finished goods inventory was 132,600 for 3,400 easels. Required: 1. Calculate the number and the dollar value of easels in ending finished goods inventory. 2. Prepare a cost of goods sold statement. 3. Prepare an absorption-costing income statement. Add a column for percentage of sales.
Ardt-Barger has a beginning work in process inventory of 5.500 units and transferred in 25,000 units before ending the month with 3.000 u flits that were 100% complete with regard to materials and 80% complete with regard to conversion costs. The cost per unit of material is $5.45, and the cost per unit for conversion is $6.20 per unit, Using the weighted-average method, prepare the companys process cost summary for the month.
During March, the following costs were charged to the manufacturing department: $14886 for materials; $14,656 for labor; and $13,820 for manufacturing overhead. The records show that 30,680 units were completed and transferred, while 2,400 remained in ending inventory. There were 33,080 equivalent units of material and 31,640 of conversion costs. Using the weighted-average method, what is the cost of inventory transferred and the balance in work in process inventory?
