During November, the production department of a process operations system completed and transferred to finished goods 35,000 units that were in process at the beginning of November and 110,000 that were started and completed in November. November's beginning inventory units were 100% complete with respect to materials and 55% complete with respect to conversion. At the end of November, 40,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 100% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to conversion. Compute the number of equivalent units with respect to conversion for November using the weighted-average method.

Clarksen Company uses a process costing system. The company requisitioned $93,000 of materials for Department A and $67,000 of materials for Department D. The entry to record the use of the direct materials by these two departments is:

Equivalent units of production are always the same as the total number of physical units finished during the period.

If a department that applies process costing starts the reporting period with 50,000 physical units that were 25% complete with respect to direct materials and 40% complete with respect to direct labor, it must add 12,500 equivalent units of direct materials and 20,000 equivalent units of direct labor to complete them.

Conversion cost per equivalent unit is the combined costs of direct materials and factory overhead.

At the beginning of the month, the Forming Department of Martin Manufacturing had 10,000 units in inventory, 30% complete as to materials, and 10% complete as to conversion. During the month the department started 60,000 units and transferred 62,000 units to the next manufacturing department. At the end of the month, the department had 8,000 units in inventory, 80% complete as to materials and 60% complete as to conversion. How many units did the Forming Department start and complete in the current month?

Wang Company provides the following data for the current year: Estimated Factory Overhead $7,800 Factory Overhead Incurred $11,400 Factory Overhead Applied ? Estimated Direct Labor Cost $12,000 Direct Labor Cost Incurred $11,800 Required: a. Calculate the predetermined overhead allocation rate based on direct labor. b. Determine the amount of overhead applied to production. c. Prepare the journal entry to apply factory overhead to Work in Process.

In process costing, all indirect materials are charged directly to Work in Process Inventory.

The fourth step in accounting for production activity in a period is to prepare a cost reconciliation, which reconciles ________ with the ________.

Conversion cost per equivalent unit is the combined cost of direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead per equivalent unit.

A company uses a process costing system and the weighted average method for inventory costs. The following information is available regarding direct labor for the current year: Work in Process, January 1 5,500 units, 80% complete Work in Process, December 31 8,800 units, 40% complete Units completed and transferred to finished goods 46,900 units Direct labor costs during the year $266,300 (a) Calculate the equivalent units of production for direct labor for the year. (b) Calculate the average cost per equivalent unit for direct labor (round to the nearest cent).

Andrews Corporation uses the weighted-average method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Polishing Department: The cost per equivalent unit of production for direct materials is:

During January, the production department of a process operations system completed and transferred to finished goods a total of 78,000 units. At the end of January, 9,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 65% complete with respect to labor. The beginning inventory included labor cost of $37,100 and the production department incurred direct labor cost of $294,300 during January. Compute the direct labor cost per equivalent unit for the department using the weighted-average method.

A process costing system records all factory overhead costs directly in the Work in Process Inventory accounts.

Williams Company computed its cost per equivalent unit for direct materials to be $2.60 and its cost per equivalent unit for conversion to be $3.75. A total of 250,000 units of product were completed and transferred out as finished goods during the month. The ending Work in Process inventory consists of 36,000 equivalent units of direct materials and 36,000 equivalent units of conversion costs. The amount that should be reported in ending Work in Process Inventory is:

Describe the flow of materials in a process costing system, including accounts used.

Wilturner Company incurs $74,000 of labor related directly to the product in the Assembly Department, $23,000 of labor not directly related to the product but related to the Assembly Department as a whole, and $10,000 of labor for services that help production in both the Assembly and Finishing departments. The journal entries to record the labor would include:

In a process costing system, companies typically end each period with only Finished Goods Inventory.
