Concept explainers
FIFO method, assigning costs (continuation of 18-23).
Required
For the data in Exercise 18-21, use the FIFO method to summarize the total costs to account for; calculate the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs; and assign costs to units completed and transferred out (including normal spoilage), to abnormal spoilage, and to units in ending work in process.
18-21 Weighted-average method, spoilage, equivalent units. (CMA, adapted) Consider the following data for November 2017 from MacLean Manufacturing Company, which makes silk pennants and uses a process-costing system. All direct materials are added at the beginning of the process, and conversion costs are added evenly during the process. Spoilage is detected upon inspection at the completion of the process. Spoiled units are disposed of at zero net disposal value. MacLean Manufacturing Company uses the weighted-average method of
a Degree of completion: direct materials, 100%; conversion costs, 45%.
b Degree of completion: direct materials, 100%; conversion costs, 35%.

- For E2-17, prepare any journal entries that would have been different if the only trigger points had been the purchase of materials and the sale of finished goods. Davis Co. uses backflush costing to account for its manufacturing costs. The trigger points are the purchase of materials, the completion of goods, and the sale of goods. Prepare journal entries to account for the following: a. Purchased raw materials, on account, 70,000. b. Requisitioned raw materials to production, 70,000. c. Distributed direct labor costs, 15,000. d. Factory overhead costs incurred, 45,000. (Use Various Credits for the account in the credit part of the entry.) e. Completed all of the production started. f. Sold the completed production for 195,000, on account. (Hint: Use a single account for raw materials and work in process.)arrow_forwardK-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_forwardWhich of the following is the step in which materials, labor, and overhead are detailed? A. determining the units to which costs are assigned B. determining the equivalent units of production C. determining the cost per equivalent units D. allocating the costs to the units transferred out and the units partially completedarrow_forward
- That which determine(s) whether the costs assigned to units transferred out and to units in ending work in process are equal to the costs in beginning work in process, plus the manufacturing costs incurred in the current period is(are) called: a.Cost reconciliation b.Transferred-in costs c.Batch production process d.Equivalent unit of outputarrow_forwardI couldn't attached the full thing but the picture contains parts A and B. Please refer to part C below. Cost assignment—Weighted average EUP Cost per EUP Total cost Completed and transferred out Direct materials Conversion Total Completed and transferred out Ending work in process Direct materials Conversion Total ending work in process Total costs accounted forarrow_forwardRequired:(a) Compute the equivalent units for direct materials (From Moulding & Direct materialsadded) and conversion costs.(b) Compute the: Cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs Total cost of the skis completed and transferred out to the Packing Department. Cost of the unexpected losses Cost of ending work in process inventory in the Spraying Department.arrow_forward
- Management Accounting Required: a. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs. b. Determine the dollar value of units completed (and transferred out) and the dollar value of units in ending work in process.arrow_forward(a) Prepare a statement of equivalent production to determine the equivalent units for direct materials (From Moulding & Direct Material Added), and conversion costs and the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs. (b) Calculate the: - Total cost of units completed and transferred to the Packaging Department - Cost of the unexpected losses - Cost of ending work-in-process inventory in the Polishing Departmentarrow_forwardWeighted-average method, spoilage, equivalent units. (CMA, adapted) Consider the following data for November 2017 from MacLean Manufacturing Company, which makes silk pennants and uses a process-costing system. All direct materials are added at the beginning of the process, and conversion costs are added evenly during the process. Spoilage is detected upon inspection at the completion of the process. Spoiled units are disposed of at zero net disposal value. MacLean Manufacturing Company uses the weighted-average method of process costing.arrow_forward
- In process costing, if an abnormal loss arises, the process account is generally: a) debited with the scrap value of the abnormal loss units b) credited with the scrap value of the abnormal loss units c) debited with the full production cost of the abnormal loss units d) credited with the full production cost of the abnormal loss unitsarrow_forwarda) What are the normal and abnormal spoilage units, respectively, for March when using FIFO? b) Using above problem, what costs would be associated with normal and abnormal spoilage, respectively, using the FIFO method of process costing?arrow_forwardIn a process costing system, how is the unit cost affected in a production cost report when materials are added in a department subsequent to the first department and the added materials result in additional units? a. the first departments unit cost is increased, which necessitates an adjustment of the transferred-in unit cost b. the first department’s unit cost is decreased, which necessitates an adjustment of the transferred-in unit cost c. the first department’s unit cost is increased, but it does not necessitate an adjustment of the transferred-in unit cost d. the first department’s unit cost is decreased, but it does not necessitate an adjustment of the transferred-in unit costarrow_forward
