Account questions During April, the production department of a process manufacturing system completed a number of units of a product and transferredthem to finished goods. Of these transferred units, 47,000 were in process in the production department at the beginning of April and250,000 were started and completed in April. April's beginning inventory units were 40% complete with respect to materials and 60%complete with respect to labor. At the end of April, 73,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 90%complete with respect to materials and 50% complete with respect to labor.1. Compute the number of units transferred to finished goods.2. Compute the number of equivalent units with respect to both materials used and labor used in the production department for April usingthe weighted average method.

Kraus Steel Company has two departments, Casting and Rolling. In the Rolling Department, ingots From the Casting Department are rolled into steel sheet. The Rolling Department received 4,000 tons from the Casting Department in October. During October, the Rolling Department completed 3,900 tons, including 200 tons of work in process on October 1. The ending work in process inventory on October 31 was 300 tons. How many tons were started and completed during October?
The finishing department started the month with 600 units in WIP inventory. Lt received 1,500 units from the molding department and ended the month with 550 units still in process. How many units were transferred out?
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. Required: 1. Assuming the use of the weighted average method, prepare a schedule of equivalent units. 2. Compute the unit cost for the month.
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.)
Rockford Company has four departmental accounts: Building Maintenance, General Factory Overhead, Machining, and Assembly. The direct labor hour method is used to apply factory overhead to the jobs being worked on in Machining and Assembly. The company expects each production department to use 30,000 direct labor hours during the year. The estimated overhead rates for the year include the following: During the year, both Machining and Assembly used 28,000 direct labor hours. Factory overhead costs incurred during the year follow: In determining application rates at the beginning of the year, cost allocations were made as follows, using the sequential distribution method: Building Maintenance to: General Factory Overhead, 10%; Machining, 50%; Assembly, 40%. General factory overhead was distributed according to direct labor hours. Required: Determine the under- or overapplied overhead for each production department. (Hint: First you must distribute the service department costs.)
Narwhal Swimwear has a beginning work in process inventory of 13,500 units and transferred in 130,000 units before ending the month with 14,000 units that were 100% complete with regard to materials and 30% complete with regard to conversion costs. The cost per unit of material is $5.80 and the cost per unit for conversion is $8.20 per unit. Using the weighted-average method, what is the amount of material and conversion costs assigned to the department for the month?
Baxter 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.
Work in process account data for two months; cost of production reports Hearty Soup Co. uses a process cost system to record the costs of processing soup, which requires the cooking and filling processes. Materials are entered from the cooking process at the beginning of the filling process.

Instructions 1. Enter the balance as of April 1, in a four-column account for Work in ProcessFilling. Record the debits and the credits in the account for April. Construct a cost of production report, and present computations for determining (A) equivalent units of production for materials and conversion, B) costs per equivalent unit, (C) cost of goods finished, differentiating between units started in the prior period and units started and finished in April, and (d) work in process inventory. 2. Provide the same information for May by recording the May transactions in the four-column work in process account.
