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?

Industries that typically use process cost systems include chemicals, oil, metals, food, paper, and pharmaceuticals.

Fast-Flow Paints produces mixer base paint through a two stage process, Mixing and Packaging. The following events depict the movement of value into and out of production. Journalize each event if appropriate, if not, provide a short narrative reason as to why you choose not to journalize that action. Bob, the Production Manager, accepts an order to continue processing the current run of mixer base paint.

Department G had 3,600 units, 25% completed at the beginning of the period, 11,000 units were completed during the period, 3,000 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 total cost of the departmental work in process inventory at the end of the period (round unit cost calculations to four decimal places)?

The inventory at April 1, 2012, and the costs charged to Work in Process--Department B during April for Zarley Company are as follows:

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 equivalent units for materials and conversion costs, respectively.

In applying the first-in, first-out method of costing inventories, if 8,000 units which are 30% completed are in process at June 1, 28,000 units are completed during June, and 4,000 units were 75% completed at June 30, the number of equivalent units of production for June was 33,400.

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 direct materials 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 average cost method is used to cost inventories. The conversion cost per equivalent unit (to the nearest cent) for April is:

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 2 were $100,000, $125,000, and $150,000, respectively. The records further indicate that direct materials, direct labor, and applied factory overhead for Department 3 were $50,000, $60,000, and $70,000, respectively. In addition, work in process at the beginning of the period for Department 3 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 3 during the period for direct materials is:

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 equivalent units of conversion costs was

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 direct materials costs is:

Which of the following is not included in conversion costs?

The three categories of manufacturing costs comprising the cost of work in process are direct labor, direct materials, and:

The Bottling Department of Mountain Springs Water Company had 5,000 liters in beginning work in process inventory (20% complete). During the period, 58,000 liters were completed. The ending work in process inventory was 3,000 liters (90% complete). What are the equivalent units for conversion costs under the FIFO method?

The inventory at June 1 and costs charged to Work in Process - Department 60 during June are as follows:

Department B had 3,000 units in Work in Process that were 25% completed at the beginning of the period at a cost of $12,500. 13,700 units of direct materials were added during the period at a cost of $28,700. 15,000 units were completed during the period, and 1,700 units were 95% completed at the end of the period. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. Direct labor was $32,450 and factory overhead was $18,710.
