FIFO: Process cost summary, equivalent units, cost estimates
C2 C3 C4 P4
Belda Co. mates organic juice in two departments: cutting and blending. Direct materials are added at the beginning of each process, and conversion costs are added evenly throughout each process. The company uses the FIFO method of
Required
- Prepare the cutting departments process cost summary for March using the FIFO method.
- Prepare the
journal entry dated March 31 to transfer the cost of completed units to the blending department, - The company provides incentives to department managers by paying monthly bonuses based on their success in controlling costs per equivalent unit of production, Assume that the production department overestimates the percentage of completion for units in ending inventory with the result that its
equivalent units of production for March are overstated, What impact does this error have on bonuses paid to the managers of the production department? What impact, if any, does this error have on these managers' April bonuses?

Process Costing Our company manufactures Chemical X. Assume the company uses weighted average. Separate direct materials and conversion costs. Chemical X is comprised of two liquids, Liquid A and Liquid B. The formula of Chemical Xis 60% Liquid A, 40% Liquid B. 70% of the mixed liquid is added at the beginning of the process: 30% added at the very end. The average cost of the raw materials is $35 per gallon. At the beginning of the month, there was 1,500 gallons in process, 40% through the process (as to conversion costs). The total costs in beginning WIP is $36,750 for materials and $97,440 for conversion costs. During the month, 15,000 gallons were started. Conversion costs were $455,400 for the month. Compute direct material costs (hint use DM EUP under FIFO). At the end of the month, there were 1,200 gallons in process, 80% through the process. Answer each question separately.
