Concept introduction:
Process costing systems is a system to assign the costs where the production goes through different processes. A product may take several processes to complete and when these processes are separable, the process costing system is applied to ascertain the cost of each process.
Weighted average method:
Weighted average method is one of the methods of process costing, under this method the cost of beginning work in process is mixed with the current period cost and weighted cost and equivalent units are calculated. In other words, the weighted average method does not teat the beginning work in process cost separately.
To prepare:

6. Direct labor hours to finish production
Activity
The following is a manufacturing cost report of Marching Ants Inc. Evaluate and correct this report.
For all Problems, assume the weighted-average method is to be used unless you are told otherwise.
Preparing a production cost report, second department with beginning WIP; journal entries
Casey Carpet manufactures broadloom carpet in seven processes: spinning, dyeing, plying, spooling, tufting, latexing, and shearing. In the Dyeing Department, direct materials (dye) are added at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the process. Information for July 2018 follows:
Requirements
Prepare a production cost report for Casey’s Dyeing Department for July. The company uses the Weighted-average method.
Journalize all transactions affecting Casey’s Dyeing Department during July, including the entries that have already been posted. Assume labor costs are accrued and not yet paid.
