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?

- Units to be Assigned Costs Question 11 Eve Cosmetics Company consists of two departments, Blending and Filling. The Filling Department received 51,800 ounces from the Blending Department. During the period, the Filling Department completed 53,200 ounces, including 3,500 ounces of work in process at the beginning of the period. The ending work in process inventory was 2,100 ounces. How many ounces were started and completed during the period?fill in the blank 1 ouncesarrow_forwardProblem 1 Delta Corporation uses a process cost system and the FIFO cost flow assumption. Production begins in the Assembly Department where materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. On December 1, the beginning work in process inventory consisted of 20,000 units, which were 25% complete (conversion costs) and had a cost of $80,000. During March, the following occurred: Materials added Conversion costs incurred Units started during March Units in ending work in process March 31 (30% complete) Required: Prepare a Production Cost Report for the month ended December 31, 2017. $260,000 $75,000 65,000 19,000arrow_forwardI'm stuck herearrow_forward
- Unit Information with BWIP, FIFO Method Jackson Products produces a barbeque sauce using three departments: Cooking, Mixing, and Bottling. In the Cooking Department, all materials are added at the beginning of the process. Output is measured in ounces. The production data for July are as follows: Production: Units in process, July 1, 70% complete* 10,100 Units completed and transferred out 90,000 Units in process, July 31, 80% complete* 15,000 * With respect to conversion costs.

- SM3arrow_forwardII. 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. DO NOT just complete a table - this will result in a zero! How many units were started AND completed?…arrow_forwardKaranarrow_forward
- Question 2 Vaasa Chemicals makes a product by way of two processes - costing system in the Mixing Department has two direct cost categories (Chemical P & Chemical Q) and one conversion costs pool. Chemical P is introduced at the start of the operations in the Mixing Department and Chemical Q is added when the product is three- fourths (75%) completed in the Mixing Department. The following information pertains to the Mixing department for July: Mixing & Refining. Its process Units Work in process inventory, July 1 Started production Completed and transferred to Refining Department Ending work in process inventory [two-thirds (66½%)of the way through the Mixing process] 50,000 35,000 15,000 Costs Beginning WIP inventory $0 Costs added during July: Chemical P 250,000 Chemical Q 70,000 Direct Labour 32,000 Manufacturing overhead 103,000 Required: i) Compute the equivalent units in the Mixing Department for direct materials and for conversion costsarrow_forwardEquivalent Units Calculations—Weighted Average Method Ferris Corporation makes a powdered rug shampoo in two sequential departments, Compounding and Drying. Materials are added at the beginning of the process in the Compounding Department. Conversion costs are added evenly throughout each process. Ferris uses the weighted average method of process costing. In the Compounding Department, beginning work in process was 2,000 pounds (70% processed), 18,500 pounds were started in process, 18,000 pounds transferred out, and ending work in process was 30% processed. Calculate equivalent units for March 2016 for the Compounding Department.
