- 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.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_forwardAero Aluminum Inc. uses a process cost system. The records for May show the following information: Required: Prepare a cost of production summary for each department. (Hint: When preparing the Converting production summary, refer to the Rolling production summary for the costs transferred in during the month.)arrow_forward
- The following information concerns production in the Finishing Department for May. The Finishing Department uses the weighted average method. a. Determine the number of units in work in process inventory at the end of the month. b. Determine the number of whole units to be accounted for and to be assigned costs and the equivalent units of production for May. Assume that direct materials are placed in process during production.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_forwardA company is using process costing with the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method, and all costs are added evenly throughout the manufacturing process. If there are 5,000 units in beginning work in process inventory (30% complete), 10,000 units in ending work in process inventory (60% complete), and 25,000 units started in process this period, how many equivalent units are there for this period? a. 22,500 units. b. 26,000 units. c. 24,500 units. d. 25,000 units.arrow_forward
- Sonoma Products Inc. manufactures a liquid product in one department. Due to the nature of the product and the process, units are regularly lost during production. Materials and conversion costs are added evenly throughout the process. The following summaries were prepared for March: Calculate the unit cost for materials, labor, and factory overhead for March and show the costs of units transferred to finished goods and to ending work in process inventory.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_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_forward
- 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?arrow_forwardHolmes Products, Inc., produces plastic cases used for video cameras. The product passes through three departments. For April, the following equivalent units schedule was prepared for the first department: Costs assigned to beginning work in process: direct materials, 90,000; conversion costs, 33,750. Manufacturing costs incurred during April: direct materials, 75,000; conversion costs, 220,000. Holmes uses the weighted average method. Required: 1. Compute the unit cost for April. 2. Determine the cost of ending work in process and the cost of goods transferred out.arrow_forwardThe following information concerns production in the Forging Department for June. The Forging Department uses the weighted average method. a. Determine the cost per equivalent unit. b. Determine cost of units transferred to Finished Goods. c. Determine the cost of units in ending Work in Process.arrow_forward
