Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step Solution:Step 1: Production Cost Report

A production cost report is prepared by the company's management using the process costing system to represent the total cost incurred while manufacturing the products.

02

Calculation of letter (a) total units to account for

TotalUnitstoaccountfor=BeginningWIPunits+Startedinproduction=500+2,200=2,700

03

Calculation of letter (c) total units accounted for

The total units accounted for equals the total units to account for. Hence the total units accounted for is 2,700 units.

04

Calculation of letter (b) completed and transferred out units

Completedandtransferredoutunits=Totalunitsaccountedfor-EndingWIPunits=2,700-500=2,200

05

Calculation of letter (d) equivalent units of production of completed units for direct materials

EUPofCompletedunitsfordirectmaterials=Numberofunits×Completion%=2,200×100%=2,200

06

Calculation of letter (e) equivalent units of production of ending WIP for direct materials

EUPofendingWIPfordirectmaterials=Numberofunits×Completion%=500×100%=500

07

Calculation of letter (f) equivalent units of production for direct materials

EUPfordirectmaterials=EUPofcompletedunits+EUPofWIPunits=2,200+500=2,700

08

Calculation of letter (g) equivalent units of production of completed units for conversion cost

EUPofCompletedunitsforconversioncost=Numberofunits×Completion%=2,200×100%=2,200

09

Calculation of letter (h) equivalent units of production of ending WIP for conversion cost


EUPofendingWIPfordirectmaterials=Numberofunits×Completion%=500×60%=300

10

Calculation of letter (i) equivalent units of production for conversion costs

EUPforconversioncosts=EUPofcompletedunits+EUPofWIPunits=2,200+300=2,500

11

Calculation of letter (j) Conversion cost of beginning WIP

ConversioncostsofbeginningWIP=Totalcoststoaccountfor-Costaddedduringperiod=$9,250-$8,310=$940

12

Calculation of letter (k) Total cost added during the period


Totalcostsaddedduringtheperiod=Directmaterial+Conversioncosts=$12,030+$8,310=$20,340

13

Calculation of letter (l) Total cost to account for direct material

Totalcosttoaccountfordirectmaterial=BeginningWIP+Costsaddedduringtheperiod=$1,200+$12,030=$13,230

14

Calculation of letter (m) Total EUP for direct material

The total EUP for direct material equals the total units accounted for Direct material, which is 2,700 units.

15

Calculation of letter (n) Total cost to account for conversion costs

The total EUP for conversion costs equals the total units accounted for conversion costs, which is 2,500 units.

16

Calculation of letter (o) cost per equivalent units of direct materials

CostperEUP=TotalcosttoaccountfordirectmaterialTotalEUPofdirectmaterial=$13,2302,700=$4.90

17

Calculation of letter (p) cost per equivalent units of conversion costs

CostperEUP=TotalcosttoaccountforconversioncostsTotalEUPofconversioncosts=$9,2502,500=$3.70

18

Calculation of letter (q) Cost accounted for completed and transferred out units for direct material

Costofcompletedandtransferredoutunits=Completedandtransferredoutunits×CostperEUP=2,200×$4.90=$10,780

19

Calculation of letter (r) Cost accounted for completed and transferred out units for conversion cost

Costofcompletedandtransferredoutunits=Completedandtransferredoutunits×CostperEUP=2,200×$3.70=$8,140

20

Calculation of letter (s) Total cost of completed and transferred out units

TotalCostofcompletedandtransferredoutunits=CostofDirectmaterial+Costofconversioncost=$10,780+$8,140=$18,920

21

Calculation of letter (t) Cost accounted for Ending WIP units for direct material

CostofEndingWIP=EndingWIPunits×CostperEUP=500×$4.90=$2,450

22

Calculation of letter (u) Cost accounted for Ending WIP units for conversion costs

CostofEndingWIPforconversioncosts=EndingWIPunitsforconversioncosts×CostperEUP=300×$3.70=$1,110

23

Calculation of letter (v) Total costs of ending WIP

TotalcostofEndingWIP=Costofdirectmaterial+Costofconversioncosts=$2,450+$1,110=$3,560

24

Calculation of letter (w) Total costs accounted for direct material

Totalcostaccountedfordirectmaterial=Costofcompletedunits+EndingWIP=$10,780+$2,450=$13,230

25

Calculation of letter (x) Total costs accounted for conversion costs

Totalcostaccountedforconversioncosts=Costofcompletedunits+EndingWIP=$8,140+$1,110=$9,250

The Finishing Department started the month with 500 units in process, received 2,000 units from the Assembly Department, and transferred 2,100 units to the finished goods storage area. All direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. The units in process at the end of the month are 45% complete concerning conversion costs. The department uses the weighted-average method. The Finishing Department incurred the following costs:

Wages of workers operating filtration equipment

$19,950

Manufacturing overhead allocated to filtration

20,050

Water

110,000

Spring Fresh had no beginning Work-in-Process Inventory in the Filtration Department in February and uses the weighted-average method.

Requirements

1. Compute the February conversion costs in the Filtration Department.

2. The Filtration Department completely processed 200,000 liters in February. What was the filtration cost per liter?

Question: The Mixing Department’s production cost report for May shows \(12,500 in total costs, of which \)2,500 will remain in the department assigned to the units still in process at the end of the month.
