During March, the following costs were charged to the manufacturing department: $22,500 for materials; $45,625 for labor; and $50,000 for manufacturing overhead. The records show that 40,000 units were completed and transferred, while 10,000 remained in ending inventory. There were 45,000 equivalent units of material and 42,500 units of conversion costs. Using the weighted-average method, prepare the companys process cost summary 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.
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.)
On December 1, Carmel Valley Production Inc. had a work in process inventory of 1,200 units that were complete as to materials and 50% complete as to labor and overhead. December 1 costs follow: During December the following transactions occurred: a. Purchased materials costing 50,000 on account. b. Placed direct materials costing 49,000 into production. c. Incurred production wages totaling 50,500. d. Incurred overhead costs for December: e. Applied overhead to work in process at a predetermined rate of 125% of direct labor cost. f. Completed and transferred 10,000 units to finished goods. (Hint: You should first compute equivalent units and unit costs. The unit cost should include applied, not actual, factory overhead.) Carmel Valley uses the weighted average cost method. The ending inventory of work in process consisted of 1,000 units that were completed as to materials and 25% complete as to labor and overhead. Required: Prepare the journal entries to record the above December transactions.
