- Seacrest Company uses a process-costing system. The company manufactures a product that is processed in two departments: A and B. As work is completed, it is transferred out. All inputs are added uniformly in Department A. The following summarizes the production activity and costs for November: Required: 1. Using the weighted average method, prepare the following for Department A: (a) a physical flow schedule, (b) an equivalent unit calculation, (c) calculation of unit costs (Note: Round to four decimal places.), (d) cost of EWIP and cost of goods transferred out, and (e) a cost reconciliation. 2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Prepare journal entries that show the flow of manufacturing costs for Department A. Use a conversion cost control account for conversion costs. Many firms are now combining direct labor and overhead costs into one category. They are not tracking direct labor separately. Offer some reasons for this practice.arrow_forwardRefer to the data in Problem 6.31. Assume that the FIFO method is used. Required: 1. Prepare a physical flow schedule. 2. Calculate equivalent units of production for direct materials and conversion costs. 3. Compute unit cost. Round to three decimal places. 4. Calculate the cost of goods transferred to Painting at the end of the month. Calculate the cost of ending inventory.arrow_forwardSonoma Products Inc. manufactures a liquid product in one department. Due to the nature of the product and the process, units are regularly lost during production. Materials and conversion costs are added evenly throughout the process. The following summaries were prepared for March: Calculate the unit cost for materials, labor, and factory overhead for March and show the costs of units transferred to finished goods and to ending work in process inventory.arrow_forward
- Materials are added at the beginning of a production process, and ending work in process inventory is 30% complete with respect to conversion costs. Use the information provided to complete a production cost report using the weighted-average method.arrow_forwardThe following information concerns production in the Forging Department for June. The Forging Department uses the weighted average method. a. Determine the cost per equivalent unit. b. Determine cost of units transferred to Finished Goods. c. Determine the cost of units in ending Work in Process.arrow_forwardThe following data show the units in beginning work in process inventory, the number of units started, the number of units transferred, and the percent completion of the ending work in process for conversion. Given that materials are added 50% at the beginning of the process and 50% at the end of the process, what are the equivalent units for material and conversion costs for each quarter using the weighted-average method? Assume that the quarters are independent.arrow_forward
- The following data show the units in beginning work in process inventory, the number of units started, the number of units transferred, and the percent completion of the ending work in process for conversion. Given that materials are added 50% at the beginning of the process and 50% at the end of the process, what are the equivalent units for material and conversion costs for each quarter using the weighted-average method? Assume that the quarters are independent.arrow_forwardThe standard cost summary for the most popular product of Phenom Products Co. is shown as follows, together with production and cost data for the period. One gallon each of liquid lead and varnish are added at the start of processing. The balance of the materials is added when the process is two-thirds complete. Labor and overhead are added evenly throughout the process. There were no units in process at the beginning of the month. Required: Calculate equivalent production for materials, labor, and overhead. (Be sure to refer to the standard cost summary to help determine the percentage of materials in ending work in process.) Calculate materials and labor variances and indicate whether they are favorable or unfavorable, using the diagram format shown in Figure 8-4. Determine the cost of materials and labor in the work in process account at the end of the month.arrow_forwardThe following data show the units in beginning work in process inventory, the number of units started, the number of units transferred, and the percent completion of the ending work in process for conversion. Given that materials are added at the beginning of the process, what are the equivalent units for material and conversion costs for each quarter using the weighted-average method? Assume that the quarters are independent.arrow_forward
- Cassien Inc. manufactures products that pass through two or more processes. During June, equivalent units were computed using the weighted average method: Required: 1. Calculate the unit cost for June using the weighted average method. 2. Using the weighted average method, determine the cost of EWIP and the cost of the goods transferred out. 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Cassien had just finished implementing a series of measures designed to reduce the unit cost to 2.00 and was assured that this had been achieved and should be realized for Junes production. Yet, upon seeing the unit cost for June, the president of the company was disappointed. Can you explain why the full effect of the cost reductions may not show up in June? What can you suggest to overcome this problem?arrow_forwardTransferred-In Cost Goldings finishing department had the following data for July: Required: 1. Calculate unit costs for the following categories: transferred-in, materials, and conversion. 2. Calculate total unit cost.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_forward
