A manufacturer uses process costing. It has one direct material cost pool and one conversion cost pool. Information for the month is as follows: Beginning of Month 5,000 units End of Month 3,000 units Work in process: Conversion (% of completion in WIP): 70% 40% Costs of Materials in WIP: Costs of Conversion in WIP: $ 90,000 $ 80,000 ? ? During the month: Units started during the month: Costs incurred for Materials: 33,000 units $320,000 $290,000 Costs incurred for Conversion: Total Spoiled Units detected: 1,000 units Other Income Statement Information: $999,000 $200,000 Inspection occurs when units are 95% converted, and inspection determines if the units are “acceptable" or “spoiled". Normal Spoilage is based on 3% of units started. Sales: Admin expenses 85% of direct materials is added at the beginning of the process, and the remaining 15% of direct materials (for packaging) is added immediately after inspection. There were no finished goods or raw material inventories at any point of the process. Required: Part A: Calculate the value of ending WIP, and prepare an Income Statement for the month assuming that process costing is based on modified FIFO, Part B: Calculate the value of ending WIP, and prepare an Income Statement for the month assuming that process costing is based on Weighted Average.
