Concept explainers
(A)
It is a method of cost accounting, which is used where the production is continuous, and the product needs various processes to complete. This method is used to ascertain the cost of the product at each process or stage of production.
Equivalents units for production
The activity of a processing department in terms of fully completed units is known as equivalent units. It includes the completed units of direct materials and conversion cost of beginning work in process, units completed and transferred out, and ending work in process.
The number of whole units to be accounted for drawing department.
(B)
The number of whole units to be accounted for winding department.

- During March, the following costs were charged to the manufacturing department: $22,500 for materials; $45,625 for labor; and $50,000 for manufacturing overhead. The records show that 40,000 units were completed and transferred, while 10,000 remained in ending inventory. There were 45,000 equivalent units of material and 42,500 units of conversion costs. Using the weighted-average method, prepare the companys process cost summary for the month.arrow_forwardEquivalent 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).arrow_forwardDublin 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.arrow_forward
- Basic Cost Flows Linsenmeyer Company produces a common machine component for industrial equipment in three departments: molding, grinding, and finishing. The following data are available for September: During September, 18,000 components were completed. There is no beginning or ending WIP in any department. Required: 1. Prepare a schedule showing, for each department, the cost of direct materials, direct labor, applied overhead, product transferred in from a prior department, and total manufacturing cost. 2. Calculate the unit cost. (Note: Round the unit cost to two decimal places.)arrow_forwardPremier 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. Required: Prepare a cost of production summary for each department. (Round unit costs to three decimal places and totals to the nearest whole dollar.)arrow_forwardThe records of Burris Inc. reflect the following data: Work in process, beginning of month2,000 units one-half completed at a cost of 1,250 for materials, 675 for labor, and 950 for overhead. Production costs for the monthmaterials, 99,150; labor, 54,925; factory overhead, 75,050. Units completed and transferred to stock38,500. Work in process, end of month3,000 units, one-half completed. Compute the months unit cost for each element of manufacturing cost and the total per unit cost.arrow_forward
- The records of Stone Inc. reflect the following data: Work in process, beginning of month4,000 units one-fourth completed at a cost of 2,500 for materials, 1,400 for labor, and 1,800 for overhead. Production costs for the monthmaterials, 130,000; labor, 70,000; and factory overhead, 82,000. Units completed and transferred to stock45,000. Work in process, end of month5,000 units, one-half completed. Compute the months unit cost for each element of manufacturing cost and the total per unit cost. (Round unit costs to three decimal places.)arrow_forwardData 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.arrow_forwardBaxter Company has two processing departments: Assembly and Finishing. A predetermined overhead rate of 10 per DLH is used to assign overhead to production. The company experienced the following operating activity for April: a. Materials issued to Assembly, 24,000 b. Direct labor cost: Assembly, 500 hours at 9.20 per hour; Finishing, 400 hours at 8 per hour c. Overhead applied to production d. Goods transferred to Finishing, 32,500 e. Goods transferred to finished goods warehouse, 20,500 f. Actual overhead incurred, 10,000 Required: 1. Prepare the required journal entries for the preceding transactions. 2. Assuming Assembly and Finishing have no beginning work-in-process inventories, determine the cost of each departments ending work-in-process inventories.arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardArdt-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.arrow_forwardThe standard cost summary for the most popular product of Phenom Products Co. is shown as follows, together with production and cost data for the period. One gallon each of liquid lead and varnish are added at the start of processing. The balance of the materials is added when the process is two-thirds complete. Labor and overhead are added evenly throughout the process. There were no units in process at the beginning of the month. Required: Calculate equivalent production for materials, labor, and overhead. (Be sure to refer to the standard cost summary to help determine the percentage of materials in ending work in process.) Calculate materials and labor variances and indicate whether they are favorable or unfavorable, using the diagram format shown in Figure 8-4. Determine the cost of materials and labor in the work in process account at the end of the month.arrow_forward
