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.)
