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.
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.
Data for the two departments of Kimble Pierce Company for June of the current fiscal year are as follows: Production begins in the Drawing Department and finishes in the Winding Department. If all direct materials are placed in process at the beginning of production, determine the direct materials and conversion equivalent units of production for June for (a) the Drawing Department and (b) the Winding Department.
Dublin Brewing Co. uses the process cost system. The following data, taken from the organizations books, reflect the results of manufacturing operations during October: Production Costs Work in process, beginning of period: Costs incurred during month: Production Data: 13,000 units finished and transferred to stockroom Work in process, end of period, 2,000 units one-half completed Required: Prepare a cost of production summary for October.
Cost of production report The debits to Work in ProcessRoasting Department for Morning Brew Coffee Company for August, together with information concerning production, are as follows: All direct materials are placed in process at the beginning of production. A. Prepare a cost of production report, presenting the following computations: 1. Direct materials and conversion equivalent units of production for August 2. Direct materials and conversion costs per equivalent unit for August 3. Cost of goods finished during August 4. Cost of work in process at August 31 B. Compute and evaluate the change in cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion from the previous month (July).
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.
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.
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.
Conte Chemical Co. uses the weighted average cost method. All materials are added at the start of the production process. Labor and overhead are added evenly at the same rate throughout the process. Contes records indicate the following data for May: Ending work in process, on May 31, is 75% completed as to labor and factory overhead. Make the following calculations: a. Equivalent units for direct materials b. Equivalent units for labor and overhead (Hint: first determine the ending units in work in process.)
Production information shows these costs and units for the smoothing department in August. All materials are added at the beginning of the period. The ending work in process is 30% complete as to conversion. What is the value of the inventory transferred to finished goods and the value of the WIP inventory at the end of the month?
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.
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.
