Exam 3: Process Cost Systems

Department S had no work in process at the beginning of the period. 12,000 units of direct materials were added during the period at a cost of $84,000, 9,000 units were completed during the period, and 3,000 units were 30% completed as to labor and overhead at the end of the period. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. Direct labor was $49,500 and factory overhead was $9,900. The total conversion costs for the period were:

Carmelita Inc., has the following information available: At the beginning of the period, there were 500 units in process that were 60 percent complete as to conversion costs and 100 percent complete as to direct materials costs. During the period 4,500 units were started and completed. Ending inventory contained 340 units that were 30 percent complete as to conversion costs and 100 percent complete as to materials costs. (Assume that the company uses the FIFO process cost method.) The equivalent units of production for direct materials and conversion costs, respectively, were

Equivalent units should be computed separately for direct materials and conversion costs.

Conversion and direct materials are generally both added at the end of the production process.

Mocha Company manufactures a single product by a continuous process, involving three production departments. The records indicate that direct materials, direct labor, and applied factory overhead for Department 1 were $100,000, $125,000, and $150,000, respectively. The records further indicate that direct materials, direct labor, and applied factory overhead for Department 2 were $55,000, $65,000, and $80,000, respectively. In addition, work in process at the beginning of the period for Department 1 totaled $75,000, and work in process at the end of the period totaled $60,000. The journal entry to record the flow of costs into Department 1 during the period for applied overhead is:

If Department H had 600 units, 60% completed, in process at the beginning of the period, 8,000 units were completed during the period, and 500 units were 30% completed at the end of the period, what was the number of equivalent units of production for the period for conversion if the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories? Assume the completion percentage applies to both direct materials and conversion cost.

In a process cost system, product costs are accumulated by processing department rather than by job.

Penny, Inc. employs a process costing system. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. Here is information about July's activities: Using the FIFO method, the number of units started and completed in July was

For which of the following businesses would a process cost system be appropriate?

The Brass Works is in the process of determining manufacturing overhead. Journalize events (a) - (d) to Factory Overhead, Miscellaneous Expense, or allocated between the two as appropriate. All items were paid in cash at the time of acquisition. Next calculate the overhead application rate and apply overhead to Work-in-Process.

In a process costing system, a separate work in process inventory account is maintained for each customer's job.

A firm produces its products by a continuous process involving three production departments, 1 through 3. Present entries to record the following selected transactions related to production during August:

Equivalent production units, usually are determined for

The Mountain Springs Water Company has two departments. Purifying and Bottling. The Bottling Department received 67,000 liters from the Purifying Department. During the period, the Bottling Department completed 65,000 liters, including 3,000 liters of work in process at the beginning of the period. The ending work in process was 5,000 liters. How many liters were started and completed during the period?

Department G had 3,600 units, 40% completed at the beginning of the period, 12,000 units were completed during the period, 2,000 units were one-fifth completed at the end of the period, and the following manufacturing costs were debited to the departmental work in process account during the period: Assuming that all direct materials are placed in process at the beginning of production and that the first-in, first-out method of inventory costing is used, what is the material and conversion cost per unit (to the nearest penny), respectively.

The portion of whole units that were completed with respect to either materials or conversion costs within a given accounting period is the definition of

The debits to Work in Process--Assembly Department for April, together with data concerning production, are as follows: All direct materials are placed in process at the beginning of the process and the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories. The materials cost per equivalent unit for April is:

The following unit data were assembled for the assembly process of the Super Co. for the month of June. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are added uniformly over the production process. The company uses the FIFO process. The number of equivalent units produced with respect to conversion costs is:

The debits to Work in Process--Assembly Department for April, together with data concerning production, are as follows: All direct materials are placed in process at the beginning of the process and the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories. The materials cost per equivalent unit for April is:

The cost of energy consumed in producing good units in the Bottling Department of Mountain Springs Water Company was $36,850 and $39,060 for June and July, respectively. The number of equivalent units produced in June and July was 55,000 and 62,000 liters respectively. Evaluate the change in the cost of energy between the two months.
