Concept explainers
Concept introduction:
Equivalent units are those units which are finished from direct materials, labor and other
Requirement 1:
Number of units transferred to completed goods.
Concept introduction:
Equivalent units are those units which are finished from direct materials, labour and other overhead costs at a particular percent to know the completed manufacturing during the period.
FIFO method- Itisasystem of stock evaluation is a cost flow statement that the first merchandise purchased isalso the initial good sold. In most corporates, this assumption directly matches the actual flow of goods and so is considered the most, in theory, correct stock valuation method.
Requirement 2:
To explain:
Computation of number of equivalent units with respect to directmaterial (DM) and conversion used in manufacturing department for May using FIFO method.
Concept introduction:
Per unit cost of production is represented by cost per equivalent production. It is determined by dividing total cost with equivalent production unit.
Requirement 3:
Computation of cost per equivalent unit for the department in respect to direct material and conversion.
Concept introduction:
Per unit cost of production is represented by cost per equivalent production. It is determined by dividing total cost with equivalent production unit.
Requirement 4:
Assigning May’s cost to the units transferred to completed goods and to closing work in process stock.

- The finishing department started the month with 600 units in WIP inventory. Lt received 1,500 units from the molding department and ended the month with 550 units still in process. How many units were transferred out?arrow_forwardNarwhal Swimwear has a beginning work in process inventory of 13,500 units and transferred in 130,000 units before ending the month with 14,000 units that were 100% complete with regard to materials and 30% complete with regard to conversion costs. The cost per unit of material is $5.80 and the cost per unit for conversion is $8.20 per unit. Using the weighted-average method, what is the amount of material and conversion costs assigned to the department for the month?arrow_forwardKraus Steel Company has two departments, Casting and Rolling. In the Rolling Department, ingots From the Casting Department are rolled into steel sheet. The Rolling Department received 4,000 tons from the Casting Department in October. During October, the Rolling Department completed 3,900 tons, including 200 tons of work in process on October 1. The ending work in process inventory on October 31 was 300 tons. How many tons were started and completed during October?arrow_forward
- The Converting Department of Worley Company had 2,400 units in work in process at the beginning of the period, which were 35% complete. During the period, 10,800 units were completed and transferred to the Packing Department. There were 1,900 units in process at the end of the period, which were 60% complete. Direct materials are placed into the process at the beginning of production. Determine the number of equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials and conversion costs.arrow_forwardFordman Company has a product that passes through two processes: Grinding and Polishing. During December, the Grinding Department transferred 20,000 units to the Polishing Department. The cost of the units transferred into the second department was 40,000. Direct materials are added uniformly in the second process. Units are measured the same way in both departments. The second department (Polishing) had the following physical flow schedule for December: Costs in beginning work in process for the Polishing Department were direct materials, 5,000; conversion costs, 6,000; and transferred in, 8,000. Costs added during the month: direct materials, 32,000; conversion costs, 50,000; and transferred in, 40,000. Required: 1. Assuming the use of the weighted average method, prepare a schedule of equivalent units. 2. Compute the unit cost for the month.arrow_forwardHeap Company manufactures a product that passes through two processes: Fabrication and Assembly. The following information was obtained for the Fabrication Department for September: a. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. b. Beginning work in process had 80,000 units, 30 percent complete with respect to conversion costs. c. Ending work in process had 17,000 units, 25 percent complete with respect to conversion costs. d. Started in process, 95,000 units. Required: 1. Prepare a physical flow schedule. 2. Compute equivalent units using the weighted average method. 3. Compute equivalent units using the FIFO method.arrow_forward
- There were 1,700 units in beginning inventory that were 40% complete with regard to conversion. During the month, 8,550 units were started and 9,000 were transferred to finished goods. The ending work in process was 60% complete with regard to conversion costs, and materials are added at the beginning of the process. What is the total amount of equivalent units for materials and conversion at the end of the month using the weighted-average method?arrow_forwardWork in process account data for two months; cost of production reports Hearty Soup Co. uses a process cost system to record the costs of processing soup, which requires the cooking and filling processes. Materials are entered from the cooking process at the beginning of the filling process. The inventory of Work in ProcessFilling on April 1 and debits to the account during April were as follows: During April, 800 units in process on April 1 were completed, and of the 7,800 units entering the department, all were completed except 550 units that were 90% completed. Charges to Work in ProcessFilling for May were as follows: During May, the units in process at the beginning of the month were completed, and of the 9,600 units entering the department, all were completed except 300 units that were 35% completed. Instructions 1. Enter the balance as of April 1, in a four-column account for Work in ProcessFilling. Record the debits and the credits in the account for April. Construct a cost of production report, and present computations for determining (A) equivalent units of production for materials and conversion, B) costs per equivalent unit, (C) cost of goods finished, differentiating between units started in the prior period and units started and finished in April, and (d) work in process inventory. 2. Provide the same information for May by recording the May transactions in the four-column work in process account. Construct a cost of production report, and present the May computations (A through D) listed in part (1). 3. Comment on the change in costs per equivalent unit for March through May for direct materials and conversion costs.arrow_forwardThe finishing department started the month with 700 units in WIP inventory. It received 2.200 units from the molding department and transferred out 2,150 units. How many units were in process at the end of the month?arrow_forward
- Ardt-Barger has a beginning work in process inventory of 5.500 units and transferred in 25,000 units before ending the month with 3.000 u flits that were 100% complete with regard to materials and 80% complete with regard to conversion costs. The cost per unit of material is $5.45, and the cost per unit for conversion is $6.20 per unit, Using the weighted-average method, prepare the companys process cost summary for the month.arrow_forwardProduction information shows these costs and units for the smoothing department in August. All materials are added at the beginning of the period. The ending work in process is 30% complete as to conversion. What is the value of the inventory transferred to finished goods and the value of the WIP inventory at the end of the month?arrow_forwardCost per equivalent unit The following information concerns production in the Forging Department for November. All direct materials are placed into the process at the beginning of production, and conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the process. The beginning inventory consists of 9,000 of direct materials. A. Determine the number of units transferred to the next department. B. Determine the costs per equivalent unit of direct materials and conversion. C. Determine the cost of units started and completed in November.arrow_forward
