Exam 6: Process Costing Systems

Miramar Ltd uses a weighted-average process costing system which recognises normal spoilage as 5% of good output. During the current period, 14,000 units were started and 10,000 units completed. Materials are added at the beginning of the process, conversion costs occur uniformly, and the inspection point is at the 70% point. Beginning work in process was 6,000 units, 40% complete, and ending work in process 9,000 units, 80% complete. The cost per equivalent unit for material was $1.00 and for conversion costs $3.00. The cost of ending work in process was

Assume a company's beginning work in process consists of 20,000 units, 40% complete. Materials are added at the beginning of the process. During the month, 90,000 units are transferred in. The ending work in process consists of 10,000 units, 50% complete. Under the standard cost method, the equivalent units of production are

Hendrix Ltd employs a process costing system. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. Here is information about July's activities: Using the weighted average method, the cost of the goods completed and transferred out was

In the weighted average method, cost per equivalent unit is often calculated separately for materials costs and conversion costs.

Beginning work in process consists of 7,000 units, 55% complete. 50,000 units were started and ending work in process is 5,000 units, 25% complete. Normal spoilage is equal to 10% of the units inspected. The inspection point occurs at the 20% point and 7,000 units were rejected. Direct materials are added at the 50% point, direct labor at 30% and overhead is applied uniformly. The costs per equivalent unit are: direct material $1.00; direct labor $1.50; overhead $2.00. The number of units completed is

Normal spoilage can be defined as

Macey Ltd uses a weighted-average process costing system. Beginning inventory consists of 6,000 units, 40% complete. Units started are 14,000, completed are 10,000, and ending inventories are 9,000 units, 70% complete. Normal spoilage is 5% of the units inspected. Direct material is added at the 75% point and spoilage inspection occurs at the 80% point. The cost per equivalent unit for materials was $1.00 and $3.00 for conversion costs. The loss from abnormal spoilage was

On 1^st September, Kelita Ltd had 20,000 units in process, which were 30% completed. Materials are added at the beginning of the process. During the month 160,000 units were started and 170,000 completed. Ending work in process was 50% complete. By what amount would the equivalent units of materials differ if weighted average were used instead of FIFO?

Assume a company's beginning work in process consists of 20,000 units, 40% complete. Materials are added at the beginning of the process. During the month, 90,000 units are transferred in. The ending work in process consists of 10,000 units, 50% complete. Using the FIFO method, the equivalent units of production are

Zuniga Ltd uses a process costing system. During May, 1,200 units were transferred into Department 2 at a cost of $38,040. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. Additionally: Using the weighted average method, the cost of the ending work in process inventory was

Equivalent units measure the resources used in partially completed units relative to the resources needed to complete the units.

Standard cost equivalent units are calculated the same way as FIFO equivalent units.

Beginning work in process consists of 7,000 units, 55% complete. 50,000 units were started and ending work in process is 5,000 units, 25% complete. Normal spoilage is equal to 10% of the units inspected. The inspection point occurs at the 20% point and 7,000 units were rejected. Direct materials are added at the 50% point, direct labor at 30% and overhead is applied uniformly. The costs per equivalent unit are: direct material $1.00; direct labor $1.50; overhead $2.00. The cost of abnormal spoilage is
