Exam 4: Costvolumeprofit Cvp Analysis

Fabert Company uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The Assembly Department started the month with 16,000 units in its beginning work in process stock that were 40% complete with respect to conversion costs. An additional 60,000 units were transferred in from the prior department during the month to begin processing in the Assembly Department. During the month 65,000 units were completed in the Assembly Department and transferred to the next processing department. There were 11,000 units in the ending work in process stock of the Assembly Department that were 50% complete with respect to conversion costs. What were the equivalent units for conversion costs in the Assembly Department for the month?

Stay Company uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The company's ending work in process stock consists of 8,000 units, 60% complete with respect to materials and 80% complete with respect to labour and overhead. If the total cost in this stock is £200,000 and if the cost for materials is £16 per equivalent unit for the period, the cost of labour and overhead per equivalent unit of the production for the period must be

On November 1, Riser Company had 5,000 units of work in process in Department No. 1 that were 100% complete with respect to material costs and 20% complete with respect to conversion costs. During November, 32,000 units were started in Department No. 1 and 34,000 units were completed and transferred to Department No. 2. The work in process on November 30th was 100% complete with respect to material costs and 40% complete with respect to conversion costs. By what amount would the equivalent units for conversion costs for the month of November differ if the FIFO method were used instead of the weighted-average method?

The computation of equivalent units under the FIFO method

Norfolk Engineering uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. This month, the beginning stock in the first processing department consisted of 700 units. The costs and percentage completion of these units in beginning stock were: Percent cost complete Materials costs £12,000 65\% Conversion costs £2,000 10\% A total of 9,200 units were started and 8,300 units were transferred to the second processing department during the month. The following costs were incurred in the first processing department during the month: Materials costs ............ £200,800 Conversion costs ......... £225,500 The ending stock was 75% complete with respect to materials and 15% 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 of ending work in process stock in the first processing department according to the company's cost system is closest to:

Saada Company uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The Fitting Department is the second department in its production process. The data below summarize the department's operations in March. Percent Units complete Beginning work in process stock 3,700 20\% Transferred in from theprior department during March 59,000 Ending work in process stock 7,200 60\% The Fitting Department's production report indicates that the cost per equivalent unit for conversion cost for March was £5.99. How much conversion cost was assigned to the units transferred out of the Fitting Department during March

Under the FIFO method, the percentage of completion of the ending stock must be greater than the percentage of completion of the beginning stock

Raider Manufacturing uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The Molding Department is the second department in its production process. The data below summarize the department's operations in January. Percent cost complete Beginning work in process stock 7,700 10\% Transferred in from the prior department during January 64,000 Completed and transferred to the next department during January 63,800 Ending work in process stock 7,900 80\% The Molding Department's production report indicates that the cost per equivalent unit for conversion cost for January was £3.19. How much conversion cost was assigned to the ending work in process stock in the Molding Department for January?

Compare and Contrast Job and Process costing

In process costing, the equivalent units computed for materials is generally the same as that computed for direct labour

Under the FIFO method, the equivalent units of production relate only to work done during the current period.

A company should use process costing, rather than job order costing, if
