Exam 17: Process Cost Systems

If the costs for direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead were $60,000, $35,000, and $25,000, respectively, for 20,000 equivalent units of production, the conversion cost per equivalent unit was $6.

Inventories are costed by the first-in, first-out method.​ Prepare a cost of production report for March. Round unit cost data to four decimal places and total cost to nearest cent.

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 2 during the period for direct materials is

Both process and job order cost systems maintain perpetual inventory accounts with subsidiary ledgers.

Department A had 1,000 units in Work in Process that were 60% completed at the beginning of the period at a cost of $7,000. During the period, 4,000 units of direct materials were added at a cost of $8,200, and 4,500 units were completed. At the end of the period, 500 units were 40% completed. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. Direct labor was $28,700 and factory overhead was $4,510. The cost of the 500 units in process at the end of the period if the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories was

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.​ -The number of equivalent units of production for the period for materials, if the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories, was

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

The cost of materials transferred into the Bottling Department of Mountain Springs Water Company is $32,400, with $26,000 from the Purifying Department, plus an additional $6,400 from the materials storeroom. The conversion cost for the period in the Bottling Department is $8,750 ($3,750 factory applied and $5,000 direct labor). The total cost transferred to finished goods for the period was $31,980. The Bottling Department had a beginning inventory of $1,860. a.Journalize the entries to record the cost of transferred-in materials, conversion costs, and the cost transferred out to finished goods. b.Determine the balance of Work in Process-Bottling at the end of the period.​

Which of the following would most likely use a process cost system?

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

In a process costing system, the cost per equivalent unit is computed before computing equivalent units.

Carmelita Inc. has the following information available: ​ -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

Companies that use the weighted average method for process costing have unit costs that include costs from more than one accounting period.

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

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

Department E had 4,000 units in Work in Process that were 40% completed at the beginning of the period at a cost of $12,500, 14,000 units of direct materials were added during the period at a cost of $28,700, 15,000 units were completed during the period, and 3,000 units were 75% 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.​ -The number of equivalent units of production for the period for conversion if the weighted average method is used to cost inventories was
