Transferred-in costs, weighted-average method. Trendy Clothing, Inc. is a manufacturer of winter clothes. It has a knitting department and a finishing department. This exercise focuses on the finishing department. Direct materials are added at the end of the process. Conversion costs are added evenly during the process. Trendy uses the weighted-average method of
- 1. Calculate equivalent units of transferred-in costs, direct materials, and conversion costs.
Required
- 2. Summarize the total costs to account for, and calculate the cost per equivalent unit for transferred-in costs, direct materials, and conversion costs.
- 3. Assign costs to units completed (and transferred out) and to units in ending work in process.

- Davis Co. uses backflush costing to account for its manufacturing costs. The trigger points are the purchase of materials, the completion of goods, and the sale of goods. Prepare journal entries to account for the following: a. Purchased raw materials, on account, 70,000. b. Requisitioned raw materials to production, 70,000. c. Distributed direct labor costs, 15,000. d. Factory overhead costs incurred, 45,000. (Use Various Credits for the account in the credit part of the entry.) e. Completed all of the production started. f. Sold the completed production for 195,000, on account. (Hint: Use a single account for raw materials and work in process.)arrow_forwardThis information was collected for the first year of manufacturing for Appliance Apps: Prepare an income statement under variable costing, and prepare a reconciliation to the income under the absorption method.arrow_forwardFor E2-17, prepare any journal entries that would have been different if the only trigger points had been the purchase of materials and the sale of finished goods. Davis Co. uses backflush costing to account for its manufacturing costs. The trigger points are the purchase of materials, the completion of goods, and the sale of goods. Prepare journal entries to account for the following: a. Purchased raw materials, on account, 70,000. b. Requisitioned raw materials to production, 70,000. c.

- Gunnison Company had the following equivalent units schedule and cost information for its Sewing Department for the month of December: Required: 1. Calculate the unit cost for December, using the FIFO method. 2. Calculate the cost of goods transferred out, calculate the cost of EWIP, and reconcile the costs assigned with the costs to account for. 3. What if you were asked for the unit cost from the month of November? Calculate Novembers unit cost and explain why this might be of interest to management.arrow_forwardGeneva, Inc., makes two products, X and Y, that require allocation of indirect manufacturing costs. The following data were compiled by the accountants before making any allocations: The total cost of purchasing and receiving parts used in manufacturing is 60,000. The company uses a job-costing system with a single indirect cost rate. Under this system, allocated costs were 48,000 and 12,000 for X and Y, respectively. If an activity-based system is used, what would be the allocated costs for each product?arrow_forwardThe following product costs are available for Stellis Company on the production of erasers: direct materials, $22,000; direct labor, $35,000; manufacturing overhead, $17,500; selling expenses, $17,600; and administrative expenses; $13,400. What are the prime costs? What are the conversion costs? What is the total product cost? What is the total period cost? If 13,750 equivalent units are produced, what is the equivalent material cost per unit? If 17,500 equivalent units are produced, what is the equivalent conversion cost per unit?arrow_forward
- Morrison Company had the equivalent units schedule and cost information for its Sewing Department for the month of December, as shown on the next page. Required: 1. Calculate the unit cost for December, using the weighted average method. 2. Calculate the cost of goods transferred out, calculate the cost of EWIP, and reconcile the costs assigned with the costs to account for. 3. What if you were asked to show that the weighted average unit cost for materials is the blend of the November unit materials cost and the December unit materials cost? The November unit materials cost is 6.60 (66,000/10,000), and the December unit materials cost is 12.22 (550,000/45,000). The equivalent units in BWIP are 10,000, and the FIFO equivalent units are 45,000. Calculate the weighted average unit materials cost using weights defined as the proportion of total units completed from each source (BWIP output and current output).arrow_forwardA manufacturing company has two service and two production departments. Building Maintenance and Factory Office are the service departments. The production departments are Assembly and Machining. The following data have been estimated for next years operations: The direct charges identified with each of the departments are as follows: The building maintenance department services all departments of the company, and its costs are allocated using floor space occupied, while factory office costs are allocable to Assembly and Machining on the basis of direct labor hours. 1. Distribute the service department costs, using the direct method. 2. Distribute the service department costs, using the sequential distribution method, with the department servicing the greatest number of other departments distributed first.arrow_forwardCassien Inc. manufactures products that pass through two or more processes. During June, equivalent units were computed using the weighted average method: Required: 1. Calculate the unit cost for June using the weighted average method. 2. Using the weighted average method, determine the cost of EWIP and the cost of the goods transferred out. 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Cassien had just finished implementing a series of measures designed to reduce the unit cost to 2.00 and was assured that this had been achieved and should be realized for Junes production. Yet, upon seeing the unit cost for June, the president of the company was disappointed. Can you explain why the full effect of the cost reductions may not show up in June? What can you suggest to overcome this problem?arrow_forward
- Chilly Clothing, Inc., is a manufacturer of winter clothes. It has a knitting department and a finishing department. This exercise focuses on the finishing department. Direct materials are added at the end of the process. Conversion costs are added evenly during the process. Suppose that Chilly uses the FIFO method. The following information for June 2017 is available. Read the requirements2. Requirement 1. Calculate equivalent units of work done in the current period (for transferred-in costs, direct materials, and conversion costs) to complete beginning work in process, to start and complete new units, and to produce ending work in process. (Enter a "0" for any zero balances.) Equivalent Units Physical Units Transferred-In Direct Conversion (tons) Costs Materials Costs Work in process, beginning 60 Transferred-in during current period 100 To account for Completed and…arrow_forwardThe assembly division of Stiles Watches, Inc. uses the FIFO method of process costing. Consider the following data for the month of May 2017: Requirement Summarize the total costs to account for, calculate the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs, and assign costs to units completed (and transferred out) and to units in ending work in process. Begin by summarizing the total costs to account for. Total Direct Conversion Production Costs Materials Costs (1) (2) Total costs to account for Next, calculate cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs. Direct Conversion Materials Costs (3) Divide by (4) Cost per equivalent unit Finally, assign total costs to units completed (and transferred out) and to units in ending…arrow_forwardSummarize the total costs to account for, and calculate the cost per equivalent unit for transferred-in costs, direct materials, and conversion costs.arrow_forward
