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.
Selected information from Skylar Studios shows the following: Prepare journal entries to record the following: raw material purchased direct labor incurred depreciation expense (hint: this is part of manufacturing overhead) raw materials used overhead applied on the basis of $0.50 per machine hour the transfer from department 1 to department 2
The 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 month
Heap Company manufactures a product that passes through two processes: Fabrication and Assembly. The following information was obtained for the Fabrication Department for September: a. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. b. Beginning work in process had 80,000 units, 30 percent complete with respect to conversion costs. c. Ending work in process had 17,000 units, 25 percent complete with respect to conversion costs. d. Started in process, 95,000 units. Required: 1. Prepare a physical flow schedule. 2. Compute equivalent units using the weighted average method. 3. Compute equivalent units using the FIFO method.
Conte Chemical Co. uses the weighted average cost method. All materials are added at the start of the production process. Labor and overhead are added evenly at the same rate throughout the process. Contes records indicate the following data for May: Ending work in process, on May 31, is 75% completed as to labor and factory overhead. Make the following calculations: a. Equivalent units for direct materials b. Equivalent units for labor and overhead (Hint: first determine the ending units in work in process.)
Cost of production report The debits to Work in ProcessRoasting Department for Morning Brew Coffee Company for August, together with information concerning production, are as follows: All direct materials are placed in process at the beginning of production. A. Prepare a cost of production report, presenting the following computations: 1. Direct materials and conversion equivalent units of production for August 2. Direct materials and conversion costs per equivalent unit for August 3. Cost of goods finished during August 4. Cost of work in process at August 31 B. Compute and evaluate the change in cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion from the previous month (July).
The 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.
The Converting Department of Tender Soft Tissue Company uses the weighted average method and had 1,900 units in work in process that were 60% complete at the beginning of the period. During the period, 15,800 units were completed and transferred to the Packing Department. There were 1,200 units in process that were 30% complete at the end of the period. a. Determine the number of whole units to be accounted for and to be assigned costs for the period. b. Determine the number of equivalent units of production for the period. Assume that direct materials are placed in process during production.
The costs per equivalent unit of direct materials and conversion in the Rolling Department of Kraus Steel Company are 750 and 120, respectively. The equivalent units to be assigned costs are as follows: The beginning work in process inventory on October 1 had a cost of 163,800. Determine the cost of completed and transferred-out production, the ending work in process inventory, and the total costs assigned by the Rolling Department.

All direct materials are placed into the process at the beginning of production, and conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the process. The beginning inventory consists of 9,000 of direct materials. A. Determine the number of units transferred to the next department. B. Determine the costs per equivalent unit of direct materials and conversion. C. Determine the cost of units started and completed in November.
