Question

Casey Carpet manufactures broadloom carpet in seven processes: spinning, dyeing, plying, spooling, tufting, latexing, and shearing. In the Dyeing Department, direct materials (dye) are added at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the process. Information for July 2018 follows:

UNITS
Beginning work-in-process inventory	75 rolls
Transferred in from spinning department during July	590 rolls
Completed during July	550 rolls
Ending work in process inventory (80% complete for conversion work)	115 rolls
COSTS
Beginning work in process inventory (transferred in costs, $3,700,materialcosts,$1,450 conversion costs, \(4,950)	\)10,100
Transferred in from the spinning department	21,570
Material costs added during July	11,185
Conversion costs added during July (Manufacturing wages, $8,050;manufacturingoverheadallocated,$45,422)	53,472

Requirements

1. Prepare a production cost report for Casey’s Dyeing Department for July. The

company uses the weighted-average method.

2. Journalize all transactions affecting Casey’s Dyeing Department during July, including the entries that have already been posted. Assume labor costs are accrued and not yet paid.

Short answer

1. Production cost report

		Equivalent unit of production
UNITS	Physical units	Transferred in	Direct material	Conversion costs	Total
Units to account for:

Step-by-step solution

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

Production cost report is prepared by the companies using the process costing system while determining the total manufacturing cost. It shows the detailed costing of the products.

Equivalent unit of production for transferred in

$$\begin{gathered} \mathbf{EUP}\mathbf{}\mathbf{for}\mathbf{}\mathbf{Transferred}\mathbf{}\mathbf{in}\mathbf{=}(\mathbf{Completed}\mathbf{}\mathbf{units}\mathbf{\times }\mathbf{Completion}\mathbf{\%})\mathbf{+}(\mathbf{Ending}\mathbf{}\mathbf{WIP}\mathbf{}\mathbf{units}\mathbf{\times }\mathbf{Completion}\mathbf{\%}) \\ \mathbf{=}(\mathbf{550}\mathbf{\times }\mathbf{100}\mathbf{\%})\mathbf{+}(\mathbf{115}\mathbf{\times }\mathbf{100}\mathbf{\%}) \\ \mathbf{=}\mathbf{665} \end{gathered}$$

Equivalent unit of production for direct material

$$\begin{gathered} \mathbf{EUP}\mathbf{}\mathbf{for}\mathbf{}\mathbf{Direct}\mathbf{}\mathbf{material}\mathbf{=}\mathbf{(}\mathbf{Completed}\mathbf{}\mathbf{units}\mathbf{\times }\mathbf{Completion}\mathbf{\%}\mathbf{)}\mathbf{+}\mathbf{(}\mathbf{Ending}\mathbf{}\mathbf{WIPunits}\mathbf{\times }\mathbf{Completion}\mathbf{\%}\mathbf{)} \\ \mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{=}\mathbf{(}\mathbf{550}\mathbf{\times }\mathbf{100}\mathbf{\%}\mathbf{)}\mathbf{+}\mathbf{(}\mathbf{115}\mathbf{\times }\mathbf{100}\mathbf{\%}\mathbf{)} \\ \mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{=}\mathbf{665} \end{gathered}$$

Equivalent unit of production for conversion costs

$$\begin{gathered} \mathbf{EUP}\mathbf{}\mathbf{for}\mathbf{}\mathbf{Conversion}\mathbf{}\mathbf{cost}\mathbf{=}(\mathbf{Completed}\mathbf{}\mathbf{units}\mathbf{\times }\mathbf{Completion}\mathbf{\%})\mathbf{+}(\mathbf{Ending}\mathbf{}\mathbf{WIPunits}\mathbf{\times }\mathbf{Completion}\mathbf{\%}) \\ \begin{array}{c}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{=}(\mathbf{550}\mathbf{\times }\mathbf{100}\mathbf{\%})\mathbf{+}(\mathbf{115}\mathbf{\times }\mathbf{80}\mathbf{\%})\\ =642\end{array} \end{gathered}$$
