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?

The estimated total factory overhead cost and total machine hours for Department 40 for the current year are $250,000 and 56,250 respectively. During January, the first month of the current year, actual machine hours used totaled 5,100 and factory overhead cost incurred totaled $22,000.

Process cost systems use job order cost cards to accumulate cost data.

Equivalent production units, usually are determined for

Match the following terms with their definitions.

The four steps necessary to determine the cost of goods completed and the ending inventory valuation in a process cost system are: The correct ordering of the steps is:

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

If the costs for direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead were $277,300, $52,600, and $61,000, respectively, for 14,000 equivalent units of production, the total conversion cost was $390,900.

Companies recognizing the need to simultaneously produce products with high quality, low cost, and instant availability have adopted a just-in-time processing philosophy.

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

The Mountain Springs Water Company has two departments. Purifying and Bottling. The Bottling Department received 58,000 liters from the Purifying Department. During the period, the Bottling Department completed 56,000 liters, including 4,000 liters of work in process at the beginning of the period. The ending work in process was 6,000 liters. How many liters were started and completed during the period?

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:

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.

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:

Department W had 2,400 units, one-third completed at the beginning of the period, 16,000 units were transferred to Department X from Department W during the period, and 1,800 units were one-half completed at the end of the period. Assume the completion ratios apply to direct materials and conversion costs. What is the equivalent units of production used to compute unit conversion cost on the cost of production report for Department W (Assuming the company uses FIFO)?

Tough Hardware purchases raw materials and processes those purchases through a receiving/inspection process prior to stocking for production. Tough places 3 purchase orders for materials for production and receives the goods that day. The first PO is for 2,500 1/2" × 96" milling blanks at $2.75 each. The second is for 4,000 pieces of 48" × 96" × 1" sheet steel at $15.55 each. The third PO is for five 55 gallon drums of Milling Lubrication Oil at $475.00 per barrel. The receiving/inspection process is completed and the goods are transferred from Receiving Inventory to Raw Materials. The Receiving/Inspection Department assigns manufacturing overhead of $55.00 per purchase order as well as $2.75 per piece on metal goods and $35.00 per container on fluids. All labor is allocated through overhead. (a) Write the journal entry to purchase and receive these items to Receiving Inventory on account. (b) Assign overhead to the metal goods. (c) Assign overhead to the fluid goods. (d) Transfer all goods to Raw Materials Inventory.

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

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.

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 cost of units completed during the period were:
