Weighted-average method, assigning costs (continuation of 17-24).
For the data in Exercise 17-24, summarize the total costs to account for calculate the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs, and assign costs to the units completed (and transferred out) and units in ending work in process.
17-24 Weighted-average method, equivalent units. The assembly division of Quality Time Pieces, Inc. uses the weighted-average method of
a Degree of completion: direct materials. 80%: conversion costs, 35%.
b Degree of completion: direct materials, 80%; conversion costs, 40%.
Compute equivalent units for direct materials and conversion costs. Show physical units in the first column of your schedule.

- K-Briggs Company uses the FIFO method to account for the costs of production. For Crushing, the first processing department, the following equivalent units schedule has been prepared: The cost per equivalent unit for the period was as follows: The cost of beginning work in process was direct materials, 40,000; conversion costs, 30,000. Required: 1. Determine the cost of ending work in process and the cost of goods transferred out. 2. Prepare a physical flow schedule.arrow_forwardLacy, Inc., produces a subassembly used in the production of hydraulic cylinders. The subassemblies are produced in three departments: Plate Cutting, Rod Cutting, and Welding. Materials are added at the beginning of the process. Overhead is applied using the following drivers and activity rates: Other data for the Plate Cutting Department are as follows: Required: 1. Prepare a physical flow schedule. 2. Calculate equivalent units of production for: a. Direct materials b. Conversion costs 3. Calculate unit costs for: a. Direct materials b. Conversion costs c. Total manufacturing 4. Provide the following information: a. The total cost of units transferred out b. The journal entry for transferring costs from Plate Cutting to Welding c. The cost assigned to units in ending inventoryarrow_forwardThe charges to Work in ProcessAssembly Department for a period, together with information concerning production, are as follows. All direct materials are placed in process at the beginning of production. Determine the following: a. The number of units in work in process inventory at the end of the period b. Equivalent units of production for direct materials and conversion c. Costs per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion d. Cost of the units started and completed during the periodarrow_forward
- Transferred-In Cost Goldings finishing department had the following data for July: Required: 1. Calculate unit costs for the following categories: transferred-in, materials, and conversion. 2. Calculate total unit cost.arrow_forwardSeacrest 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.arrow_forwardThe following data appeared in the accounting records of Craig Manufacturing Inc., which uses the weighted average cost method: Case 1All materials are added at the beginning of the process, and labor and factory overhead are added evenly throughout the process. Case 2One-half of the materials are added at the start of the manufacturing process, and the balance of the materials is added when the units are one-half completed. Labor and factory overhead are applied evenly during the process. Make the following computations for each case: a. Unit cost of materials, labor, and factory overhead for the month b. Cost of the units finished and transferred during the month c. Cost of the units in process at the end of the montharrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardLampierre makes brass and gold frames. The company computed this information to decide whether to switch from the traditional allocation method to ABC: The estimated overhead for the material cost pool is estimated as $12,500, and the estimate for the machine setup pool is $35,000. Calculate the allocation rate per unit of brass and per unit of gold using: A. The traditional allocation method B. The activity-based costing methodarrow_forwardGiven the following information, prepare a production report with materials added at the beginning and ending work in process inventory being 80% complete with regard to conversion costs.arrow_forward
- The increases to Work in ProcessRoasting Department for Highlands Coffee Company for May as well as information concerning production are as follows: Prepare a cost of production report for May, using the weighted average method. Assume that direct materials are placed in process during production.arrow_forwardActivity cost pools, activity rates, and product costs using activity-based costing Caldwell Home Appliances Inc. is estimating the activity cost associated with producing ovens and refrigerators. The indirect labor can be traced into four separate activity pools, based on time records provided by the employees. The budgeted activity cost and activity-base information are provided as follows: The estimated activity-base usage and unit information for two product lines was determined as follows: A. Determine the activity rate for each activity cost pool. B. Determine the activity-based cost per unit of each product.arrow_forwardThe following data show the units in beginning work in process inventory, the number of units started, the number of units transferred, and the percent completion of the ending work in process for conversion. Given that materials are added at the beginning of the process, what are the equivalent units for material and conversion costs for each quarter using the weighted-average method? Assume that the quarters are independent.arrow_forward
