Question

Required:

(a) Compute the equivalent units and cost per equivalent units for direct materials (From Molding &
Direct materials added) and conversion costs.

(b) Compute the:
 - cost of the unexpected losses

- total cost of the knobs completed and transferred out of the Packaging Department.

- cost of ending work in process inventory in the Polishing Department

(c) Complete the Work in Process Inventory – Polishing Process T-account, clearly showing the ending
balance.

(d) Prepare the journal entries for the:

- assignment of direct materials, direct labor incurred and the manufacturing overhead applied to the Polishing Process

- cost of the units completed and transferred out to the Packaging Process 

(e) Given that 30% of the unexpected losses were as a result of pilferage, calculate Fen Furnishings true loss associated with the Polishing Process.

Ottoy produces metal knobs for the furniture industry in a four-stage process -Mixing, Molding,
Polishing and Packaging. Costs incurred in the Polishing Department during January are summarized as follows:
WIP - Polishing Process A/C
January 1 Bal.
Transfer from Molding
Direct Materials Added
$0
1,310,000
391,600
638,000
307,400|
20,000
Direct Labor
Manufacturing Overhead
Normal losses are estimated to be 2%% of input during the period. Inspection takes place during the processing
operation, at which point damaged knobs are separated from good knobs and sold as scrap to local furniture
manufacturers at $85 each.
At inspection, 2,000 knobs were rejected as scrap. These units had reached the following degree of completion:
Transfer from Molding
100%
Direct material added
40%
Conversion costs
20%
Work-in-progress at the end of January was 4,000 Knobs and had reached the following degree of completion:
Transfer from Molding
100%
Direct material added
80%
Conversion costs
50%
Direct materials added and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process.
