Chapter 17, Problem 17.44P
Transferred-in costs, FIFO method. Refer to the information in Problem 17-43. Suppose that Spelling Sports uses the FIFO method instead of the weighted-average method. Assume that all other information, including the cost of beginning WIP, is unchanged.
- 1. Using the FIFO process-costing method, complete Problem 17-43.
Required
- 2. If you did Problem 17-43, explain any difference between the cost of work completed and transferred out and the cost of ending work in process in the stitching department under the weighted-average method and the FIFO method.
17-43 Transferred-in costs, weighted-average method. Spelling Sports, which produces basketballs, has two departments: cutting and stitching. Each department has one direct-cost category (direct materials) and one indirect-cost category (conversion costs). This problem focuses on the stitching department.
Basketballs that have undergone the cutting process are immediately transferred to the stitching department. Direct material is added when the stitching process is 70% complete. Conversion costs are added evenly during stitching operations. When those operations are done, the basketballs are immediately transferred to Finished Goods.
Spelling Sports uses the weighted-average method of
- 1. Summarize total stitching department costs for March 2017, and assign these costs to units completed (and transferred out) and to units in ending work in process.
Required
- 2. Prepare
journal entries for March transfers from the cutting department to the stitching department and from the stitching department to Finished Goods.

1. What is the percentage of completion for (a) transferred‐in costs and direct materials in beginning work‐in‐process inventory, and (b) transferred‐in costs and direct materials in ending work‐in‐process inventory? 2. Calculate total costs assigned to completed and transferred out units to Finished Goods and working process ending units in the testing department, using the current process costing method. (weighted average method) Show each step of the five‐step approach and your calculations clearly. 3. Suppose that Maxion Jantaş uses the FIFO method instead of the weighted‐average method in all of its departments. Further assume that following changes under the FIFO method are; total transferred‐in costs of beginning work in process on August 1 are $2,881,875 (instead of $2,932,500) and that total transferred‐in costs added during August are $7,735,250 (instead of $7,717,500). Using the FIFO process‐costing method and the given assumptions, repeat part 2
Thank you for the help,
I have two follow up questions regarding this,
-First question is 3. Calculation of cost per equivalent units in ( converstion)
beginning Work in the process should it be 654,800 instead of 327,400 becuase converstion costs = direct labor + overhead and in this case it would be 327,400 + 100% * 327,400 = 654,800?
and Cost incurred during the period for conversation cost = Direct labor cost + overhead cost = 7,207,400 + (100% * 7,207,400) = 14,414,800?
-Second question is 5. Calculation of Cost of units Completed and Transferred out (Finished Goods) for December 31, 20x1, should it we use Equivalent Units (A) 1,134,000 units instead of 2,700,000 becuase we are preparing a schedule of December 31?
