Weighted Average Method, Journal Entries

Muskoge Company uses a process-costing system. The company manufactures a product that is processed in two departments: Molding and Assembly. In the Molding Department, direct materials are added at the beginning of the process; in the Assembly Department, additional direct materials are added at the end of the process. In both departments, conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. As work is completed, it is transferred out. The following table summarizes the production activity and costs for February:

    Molding   Assembly
Beginning inventories:        
  Physical units   10,000     8,000  
  Costs:        
    Transferred in   —     $45,300  
    Direct materials   $22,000     —  
    Conversion costs   $13,800     $16,800  
Current production:        
  Units started   25,000     ?  
  Units transferred out   30,000     35,000
  Costs:        
    Transferred in   —     ?  
    Direct materials   $56,400     $39,550
