Exam 4: Process Costing

In July,one of the processing departments at Okamura Corporation had beginning work in process inventory of $13,000 and ending work in process inventory of $18,000.During the month,the cost of units transferred out from the department was $148,000.In the department's cost reconciliation report for July,the total cost to be accounted for under the weighted-average method would be:

When computing the cost per equivalent unit,it is necessary to consider the percentage completion of the units in beginning inventory under the weighted-average method.

The following costs were incurred in the first processing department during the month: The ending inventory was 70% complete with respect to materials and 10% 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:

Kota Toy Corporation manufactures lizard dolls in two departments, Molding and Assembly. In the Molding Department, plastic is injected into a lizard-shaped mold. The dolls that come out of the molds are then transferred to the Assembly Department where hair is applied. Kota uses a weighted-average process cost system to collect costs in both departments. On January 1, the Molding Department had 4,000 dolls in process. These dolls were 100% complete with respect to direct materials and 70% complete with respect to conversion cost. During January, Molding completed 79,000 dolls. On January 31, Molding had 7,000 dolls in work in process. These dolls were 100% complete with respect to direct materials and 25% complete with respect to conversion cost. -What are the Fabrication Department's equivalent units of production related to conversion costs for July?

Hutchcroft Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing.The following data concern the company's Assembly Department for the month of June. During the month,6,200 units were completed and transferred from the Assembly Department to the next department. Required: Determine the cost of ending work in process inventory and the cost of units transferred out of the department during June using the weighted-average method.

Under the weighted-average method,the cost of ending work in process inventory is determined by dividing the equivalent units of production for ending inventory by the cost per equivalent unit for each cost category and then summing the result.
