Chapter 17, Problem 17.43P
Transferred-in costs, weighted-average method. Spelling Sports, which produces basketballs, has two departments: cutting and stitching. Each department has one direct-cost category (direct materials) and one indirect-cost category (conversion costs). This problem focuses on the stitching department.
Basketballs that have undergone the cutting process are immediately transferred to the stitching department. Direct material is added when the stitching process is 70% complete. Conversion costs are added evenly during stitching operations. When those operations are done, the basketballs are immediately transferred to Finished Goods.
Spelling Sports uses the weighted-average method of
- 1. Summarize total stitching department costs for March 2017, and assign these costs to units completed (and transferred out) and to units in ending work in process.
Required
- 2. Prepare
journal entries for March transfers from the cutting department to the stitching department and from the stitching department to Finished Goods.

Makani Handcraft is a manufacturer of picture frames for large retailers. Every picture frame passes
through two departments: the assembly department and the finishing department. This problem focuses
on the assembly department. The process-costing system at Makani has a single direct-cost category
(direct materials) and a single indirect-cost category (conversion costs). Direct materials are added at the
beginning of the process. Conversion costs are added evenly during the assembly department's process.
Consider the following data for the assembly department in June 2020:
Physical units (Frames)
Direct materials
Direct labour
Work in progress (June 1)
80
$1,500
$150
Completed during June
500
Work in progress June 30
200
Total costs added during June
$17,800
$11,500
Degree of completion is as follows:
Work in progress (June 1):
100%
60%
Work in progress June 30
100%
25%
