Chapter 18, Problem 18.22E
Weighted-average method, assigning costs (continuation of 18-21).
Required
For the data in Exercise 18-21, 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 (including normal spoilage), to abnormal spoilage, and to units in ending work-in-process inventory.
18-21 Weighted-average method, spoilage, equivalent units. (CMA, adapted) Consider the following data for November 2017 from MacLean Manufacturing Company, which makes silk pennants and uses a process-costing system. All direct materials are added at the beginning of the process, and conversion costs are added evenly during the process. Spoilage is detected upon inspection at the completion of the process. Spoiled units are disposed of at zero net disposal value. MacLean Manufacturing Company uses the weighted-average method of
a Degree of completion: direct materials, 100%; conversion costs, 45%.
b Degree of completion: direct materials, 100%; conversion costs, 35%.
Required
Compute equivalent units for direct materials and conversion costs. Show physical units in the first column of your schedule.

Required:
a. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs.
b. Determine the dollar value of units completed (and transferred out) and the dollar value of units in ending work in process.
Please refer to questions to complete.
a. Based on the data in Exercise 20-11 (attached), determine the following:1. Cost of beginning work in process inventory completed this period2. Cost of units transferred to finished goods during the period3. Cost of ending work in process inventory4. Cost per unit of the completed beginning work in process inventory, rounded to the nearest centb. Did the production costs change from the preceding period? Explain.c. Assuming that the direct materials cost per unit did not change from the preceding period, did the conversion costs per equivalent unit increase, decrease, or remain the same for the current period?
