Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step Solution:Step 1: Production Cost Report

A production cost report is prepared by the company's management using the process costing system to represent the total cost incurred while manufacturing the products.

02

Calculation of letter (a) total units to account for

TotalUnitstoaccountfor=BeginningWIPunits+Startedinproduction=500+2,200=2,700

03

Calculation of letter (c) total units accounted for

The total units accounted for equals the total units to account for. Hence the total units accounted for is 2,700 units.

04

Calculation of letter (b) completed and transferred out units

Completedandtransferredoutunits=Totalunitsaccountedfor-EndingWIPunits=2,700-500=2,200

05

Calculation of letter (d) equivalent units of production of completed units for direct materials

EUPofCompletedunitsfordirectmaterials=Numberofunits×Completion%=2,200×100%=2,200

06

Calculation of letter (e) equivalent units of production of ending WIP for direct materials

EUPofendingWIPfordirectmaterials=Numberofunits×Completion%=500×100%=500

07

Calculation of letter (f) equivalent units of production for direct materials

EUPfordirectmaterials=EUPofcompletedunits+EUPofWIPunits=2,200+500=2,700

08

Calculation of letter (g) equivalent units of production of completed units for conversion cost

EUPofCompletedunitsforconversioncost=Numberofunits×Completion%=2,200×100%=2,200

09

Calculation of letter (h) equivalent units of production of ending WIP for conversion cost


EUPofendingWIPfordirectmaterials=Numberofunits×Completion%=500×60%=300

10

Calculation of letter (i) equivalent units of production for conversion costs

EUPforconversioncosts=EUPofcompletedunits+EUPofWIPunits=2,200+300=2,500

11

Calculation of letter (j) Conversion cost of beginning WIP

ConversioncostsofbeginningWIP=Totalcoststoaccountfor-Costaddedduringperiod=$9,250-$8,310=$940

12

Calculation of letter (k) Total cost added during the period


Totalcostsaddedduringtheperiod=Directmaterial+Conversioncosts=$12,030+$8,310=$20,340

13

Calculation of letter (l) Total cost to account for direct material

Totalcosttoaccountfordirectmaterial=BeginningWIP+Costsaddedduringtheperiod=$1,200+$12,030=$13,230

14

Calculation of letter (m) Total EUP for direct material

The total EUP for direct material equals the total units accounted for Direct material, which is 2,700 units.

15

Calculation of letter (n) Total cost to account for conversion costs

The total EUP for conversion costs equals the total units accounted for conversion costs, which is 2,500 units.

16

Calculation of letter (o) cost per equivalent units of direct materials

CostperEUP=TotalcosttoaccountfordirectmaterialTotalEUPofdirectmaterial=$13,2302,700=$4.90

17

Calculation of letter (p) cost per equivalent units of conversion costs

CostperEUP=TotalcosttoaccountforconversioncostsTotalEUPofconversioncosts=$9,2502,500=$3.70

18

Calculation of letter (q) Cost accounted for completed and transferred out units for direct material

Costofcompletedandtransferredoutunits=Completedandtransferredoutunits×CostperEUP=2,200×$4.90=$10,780

19

Calculation of letter (r) Cost accounted for completed and transferred out units for conversion cost

Costofcompletedandtransferredoutunits=Completedandtransferredoutunits×CostperEUP=2,200×$3.70=$8,140

20

Calculation of letter (s) Total cost of completed and transferred out units

TotalCostofcompletedandtransferredoutunits=CostofDirectmaterial+Costofconversioncost=$10,780+$8,140=$18,920

21

Calculation of letter (t) Cost accounted for Ending WIP units for direct material

CostofEndingWIP=EndingWIPunits×CostperEUP=500×$4.90=$2,450

22

Calculation of letter (u) Cost accounted for Ending WIP units for conversion costs

CostofEndingWIPforconversioncosts=EndingWIPunitsforconversioncosts×CostperEUP=300×$3.70=$1,110

23

Calculation of letter (v) Total costs of ending WIP

TotalcostofEndingWIP=Costofdirectmaterial+Costofconversioncosts=$2,450+$1,110=$3,560

24

Calculation of letter (w) Total costs accounted for direct material

Totalcostaccountedfordirectmaterial=Costofcompletedunits+EndingWIP=$10,780+$2,450=$13,230

25

Calculation of letter (x) Total costs accounted for conversion costs

Totalcostaccountedforconversioncosts=Costofcompletedunits+EndingWIP=$8,140+$1,110=$9,250

On May 31, the Mixing Department ending Work-in-Process Inventory was 80%

complete for materials and 45% complete for conversion costs. The Heating Department ending Work-in-Process Inventory was 60% complete for materials and 35% complete for conversion costs. The company uses the weighted-average method. Requirements

1. Compute the equivalent units of production for direct materials and for conversion costs for the Mixing Department.

2. Compute the equivalent units of production for transferred in costs, direct materials, and conversion costs for the Heating Department.

Question: If a company began the month with 50 units in process, started another 600 units during the month, and ended the month with 75 units in process, how many units were completed?

The Blending Department for CenTex Paints started October with 1,000 gallons in process and started in production 9,500gallons. During the month, 7,000 gallons were completed and transferred to the next department. Ending work-in-process was3,500 gallons (100% complete with respect to direct materials and 30% complete for conversion costs). The department uses the

weighted-average method. The Blending Department incurred the following costs:

Beginning WIP-Direct materials cost

\(500

Beginning WIP-Conversion cost

1,210

Direct material added during the month

5,800

Conversion cost added during the month

5,230

Total
