Spoilage, journal entries. Plastique produces parts for use in various industries. Plastique uses a job-costing system. The nature of its process is such that management expects normal spoilage at a rate of 2% of good parts. Data for last month is as follows:
PVW Company manufactures products to customer specifications. A job costing system is used to accumulate production costs. During the month of September, an order (Job X2) by a customer comprised 5,000 units of the product; manufacturing cost is $5.00 per unit. The processing of this job, however, resulted in spoilage of 400 units, considered normal with no disposal value, attributable to this specific job.
Required:
How will you account for the above transaction, for example, in a journal entry?
Determine the unit cost showing computations.
A process costing system in your company. Direct material A is placed
into production at the beginning of the process, while direct material B
is placed into production at the end of the process. Inspection occurs at
the end of the process, before the addition of direct material B. Normal
spoilage is 5% of good units. For March the company had the following
activities:
Beginning work-in-process inventory 4,000 units, 30% complete
Units placed in production
28,000 unit
Good units completed
24,000 units
Ending work-in-process inventory 6,000 units, 60% complete
Cost of beginning work-in-process $10,000 ($5,500 direct material A,
$4,500 conversion)
Direct material A costs, current
$38,000
Direct material B costs, current
$26,400
Conversion costs, current
$42,500
Required:
Prepare a production cost worksheet assuming that spoilage is
recognized and the weighted-average method is used.

- Randall Inc. manufactures pocket protectors and uses the FIFO method of process costing. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the production process. Conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout production. Inspection takes place at the end of the production process. After inspection, some units are spoiled due to defects. Spoiled units generally constitute 1% of the good units transferred out (this is normal spoilage). Assume all spoilage is from the current month's production.
