Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step Solution:Step 1: Cost of Goods Sold

The cost of goods sold implies the total cost of the product sold during the year. The cost of goods sold is added to the gross profit to arrive at the sales.

02

Calculating the amount of letter A

Transferredoutto(a)=Directmaterials+Directlabor+Manufacturingoverhead-Endingbalance=$57,000+$5,000+$39,000-$16,000=$85,000

03

Calculating the amount of letter B (transferred in from amount)

The amount transferred from the cutting department to the finishing department is $85,000.

04

Calculating the amount of letter C (direct labor)

Directlabor(c)=Endingbalance+transferoutto-transferinfrom-directmaterial-manufacturingoverhead-beginingbalance=$68,000+$80,000-$85,000-$21,000-$18,000-$11,000=$13,000

05

Calculating the amount of letter E (Transfer in from)

The amount of transferred in from the finishing department to the packaging department is $80,000.

06

Calculating the amount of letter D (transfer out to)

Transferredoutto(d)=Beginingbalance+Transferin+Directmaterials+Directlabor+Manufacturingoverhead-Endingbalance=$4,000+$80,000+$1,000+$9,000+$14,000-$8,000=$100,000

07

Calculating the amount of letter G (Transfer in from)

The amount of transferred in from the packaging department to the finished goods inventory is $100,000.

08

Calculating the amount of letter F (transfer out to)

Transferredoutto(f)=Beginingbalance+Transferinfrom-Endingbalance=$0+$100,000-$2,000=$80,000

09

Calculating the amount of letter H (transfer in from)

The amount of transferred in from the finished goods inventory to the cost of goods sold is $80,000.

10

Calculating the amount of letter I (Ending balance of cost of goods sold)

Endingbalance(i)=Beginingbalance+Transferinfrom=$0+$80,000=$80,000

Bert’s Exteriors produces exterior siding for homes. The Preparation Department begins with wood, which is chopped into small bits. At the end of the process, an adhesive is added. Then the wood/adhesive mixture goes on to the Compression Department, where the wood is compressed into sheets. Conversion costs are added evenly throughout the preparation process. January data for the Preparation Department are as follows:

UNITS

Beginning work-in-process inventory

0 sheets

Started in production

3,800 sheets

Completed and transferred out to compression in January

2,900 sheets

Ending work-in-process inventory (30% of the way through the preparation process)

900 sheets

Total costs

Requirements

1. Prepare a production cost report for the Preparation Department for January. The company uses the weighted-average method. (Hint: Each direct material added at a different point in the production process requires its own equivalent units of production computation.)

2. Prepare the journal entry to record the cost of the sheets completed and transferred out to the Compression Department.

3. Post the journal entries to the Work-in-Process Inventory—Preparation T-account. What is the ending balance?

Question: What are conversion costs? Why do some companies using process costing systems use conversion costs?

Ocean Worthy uses three processes to manufacture lifts for personal watercraft: forming a lift’s parts from galvanized steel, assembling the lift, and testing the completed lift. The lifts are transferred to Finished Goods Inventory before shipment to marinas across the country.

Ocean Worthy’s Testing Department requires no direct materials. Conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the testing process. Other information follows for the month of August:

UNITS

Beginning work-in-process inventory

2,000 units

Transferred in from assembling department during the period

7,000 units

Completed during the period

4,000 units

Ending work in process inventory (40% complete for conversion work)

5,000 units

COSTS

Beginning work in process inventory (transferred in costs, \(93,400, conversion costs, \)18,100)

$111,500

Transferred in from the assembly department during the period

672,000

Conversion cost added during the period

54,000

The cost transferred into Finished Goods Inventory is the cost of the lifts transferred out of the Testing Department. Ocean Worthy uses weighted-average

process costing.

Requirements

1. Prepare a production cost report for the Testing Department.

2. What is the cost per unit for lifts completed and transferred out to Finished Goods Inventory? Why would management be interested in this cost?

Work Problem P18-33A using the FIFO method. The Mixing Department beginning work in process of 300 units is 40% complete as to both direct materials and conversion costs. Round equivalent unit of production costs to four decimal places. Round all other costs to the nearest whole dollar.

Refer to your answers from Exercise E18-21.

Requirements

1. Prepare the journal entries to record the assignment of direct materials and direct labor and the allocation of manufacturing overhead to the Blending Department. Also, prepare the journal entry to record the costs of the gallons completed and transferred out to the Packaging Department. Assume labor costs are accrued and not yet paid.

2. Post the journal entries to the Work-in-Process Inventory—Blending T-account.

What is the ending balance?

3. What is the average cost per gallon transferred out of the Blending Department

into the Packaging Department? Why would the company managers want to

know this cost?
