Tanaka Manufacturing Co. uses the process cost system. The following information for the month of December was obtained from the company’s books and from the production reports submitted by the department heads: Required: Prepare cost of production summaries for the Mixing, Blending, and Bottling (Hint: You must calculate the adjusted unit cost from Blending.) departments. Prepare a departmental cost work sheet. Draft the journal entries required to record the month’s operations. Prepare a statement of cost of goods manufactured for December. (Hint: Goods finished but not transferred to finished goods are considered part of work in process inventory.)
Shorts Company has three process departments: Mixing, Encapsulating, and Bottling. At the beginning of the year, there were no work-in-process or finished goods inventories. The following data are available for the month of July: Includes only the direct materials, direct labor, and the overhead used to process the partially finished goods received from the prior department. The transferred-in cost is not included. Required: 1. Prepare journal entries that show the transfer of costs from one department to the next (including the entry to transfer the costs of the final department). 2. Prepare T-accounts for the entries made in Requirement 1. Use arrows to show the flow of costs.
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, taken from the organizations books, reflect the results of manufacturing operations during the month of March: Production Costs Work in process, beginning of period: Costs incurred during month: Production Data: 18,000 units finished and transferred to stockroom. Work in process, end of period, 3,000 units, two-thirds completed. Required: Prepare a cost of production summary for March.
Equivalent units and related costs; cost of production report; entries Dover Chemical Company manufactures specialty chemicals by a series of three processes, all materials being introduced in the Distilling Department. From the Distilling Department, the materials pass through the Reaction and Filling departments, emerging as finished chemicals. The balance in the account Work in ProcessFilling was as follows on January 1: The following costs were charged to Work in ProcessFilling during January: During January, 53,000 units of specialty chemicals were completed. Work in ProcessFilling Department on January 31 was 2,700 units, 30% completed. Instructions 1. Prepare a cost of production report for the Filling Department for January. 2. Journalize the entries for costs transferred from Reaction to Filling and the costs transferred from Filling to Finished Goods. 3. Determine the increase or decrease in the cost per equivalent unit from December to January for direct materials and conversion costs. 4. Discuss the uses of the cost of production report and the results of part (3).
Premier Products Inc. has three departments and uses the process cost system of accounting. A portion of the departmental cost work sheet prepared by the cost accountant at the end of July is reproduced below. Using the data in P5-7: 1. Draft the necessary entries to charge the materials and labor costs to the appropriate work in process accounts, to apply factory overhead to work in process, and to record the transfer of costs from one department to another. 2. Prepare a statement of cost of goods manufactured for the month ended July 31.
Primera Company produces two products and uses a predetermined overhead rate to apply overhead. Primera currently applies overhead using a plantwide rate based on direct labor hours. Consideration is being given to the use of departmental overhead rates where overhead would be applied on the basis of direct labor hours in Department 1 and on the basis of machine hours in Department 2. At the beginning of the year, the following estimates are provided: Actual results reported by department and product during the year are as follows: Required: 1. Compute the plantwide predetermined overhead rate and calculate the overhead assigned to each product. 2. Calculate the predetermined departmental overhead rates and calculate the overhead assigned to each product. 3. Using departmental rates, compute the applied overhead for the year. What is the under- or overapplied overhead for the firm? 4. Prepare the journal entry that disposes of the overhead variance calculated in Requirement 3, assuming it is not material in amount. What additional information would you need if the variance is material to make the appropriate journal entry?
Yellowstone Fabricators uses a process cost system and applies actual factory overhead to work in process at the end of the month. The following data came from the records for March: There were no beginning inventories and no ending work in process inventory. From the information presented, compute the following: 1. Unit cost of production under absorption costing and variable costing. 2. Cost of the ending inventory under absorption costing and variable costing.
Units of production data for the two departments of Atlantic Cable and Wire Company for July of the current fiscal year are as follows: Each department uses the weighted average method. For each department, assume that direct Materials are placed in process during production. a. Determine the number of whole units to be accounted for and to be assigned costs and the equivalent units of production for the Drawing Department. b. Determine the number of whole units to be accounted for and to be assigned costs and the equivalent units of production for the Winding Department.
