Exam 4: Systems Design: Process Costing

Auger Inc. uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The following data concern the operations of the company's first processing department for a recent month. Required: a. Determine the equivalent units of production. b. Determine the costs per equivalent unit. c. Determine the cost of ending work in process inventory. d. Determine the cost of the units transferred to the next department.

In July, one of the processing departments at Feickert Corporation had beginning work in process inventory of $23,000 and ending work in process inventory of $16,000. During the month, $268,000 of costs were added to production and the cost of units transferred out from the department was $275,000. In the department's cost reconciliation report for July, the total cost to be accounted for would be:

Overland, Inc., uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The company's work in process inventory on April 30 consists of 25,000 units. The units in the ending inventory are 100% complete with respect to materials and 75% complete with respect to conversion costs. If the cost per equivalent unit is $3.00 for materials and $5.50 for conversion costs, the total cost in the April 30 work in process inventory is:

Hanson Company uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The first processing department, the Welding Department, started the month with 17,000 units in its beginning work in process inventory that were 60% complete with respect to conversion costs. The conversion cost in this beginning work in process inventory was $90,780. An additional 84,000 units were started into production during the month and 82,000 units were completed in the Welding Department and transferred to the next processing department. There were 19,000 units in the ending work in process inventory of the Welding Department that were 40% complete with respect to conversion costs. A total of $690,780 in conversion costs were incurred in the department during the month. The cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs is closest to:

Dufour Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. This month, the beginning inventory in the first processing department consisted of 600 units. The costs and percentage completion of these units in beginning inventory were: A total of 5,700 units were started and 4,900 units were transferred to the second processing department during the month. The following costs were incurred in the first processing department during the month: The ending inventory was 85% complete with respect to materials and 70% complete with respect to conversion costs. Note: Your answers may differ from those offered below due to rounding error. In all cases, select the answer that is the closest to the answer you computed. To reduce rounding error, carry out all computations to at least three decimal places. -The cost per equivalent unit for materials for the month in the first processing department is closest to:
