AccuBlade Castings Inc. casts blades for turbine engines. Within the Casting Department, alloy is first melted in a crucible, then poured into molds to produce the castings. On May 1, there were 340 pounds of alloy in process, which were 60% complete as to conversion. The Work in Process balance for these 340 pounds was $53,448, determined as follows:   1 Direct materials (340 × $150) $51,000.00 2 Conversion (340 × 60% × $12) 2,448.00 3   $53,448.00       During May, the Casting Department was charged $379,200 for 2,400 pounds of alloy and $19,088 for direct labor. Factory overhead is applied to the department at a rate of 150% of direct labor. The department transferred out 2,540 pounds of finished castings to the Machining Department. The May 31 inventory in process was 25% complete as to conversion. A. (1) On May 1, prepare the journal entry for the Casting Department for the materials charged to production.* (2) On May 31, prepare the journal entry for the Casting Department for the conversion costs charged to production.* (3) On May 31, prepare the journal entry for the Casting Department for the completed production transferred to the Machining Department.*   *Refer to the Chart of Accounts for exact wording of account titles. B. Determine the Work in Process-Casting Department May 31 balance. C.

Northern Company processes 100 gallons of raw materials into 75 gallons of product GS-50 and 25 gallons of GS-80. GS-50 is further processed into 50 gallons of product GS-505 at a cost of $7,250, and GS-80 is processed into 50 gallons of product GS-805 at a cost of $5,750. The production process starts at point 1. A total of $20,000 in joint manufacturing costs are incurred in reaching point 2. Point 2 is the split-off point of the process that manufactures GS-50 and GS-80. At this point, GS-50 can be sold for $725 a gallon, and GS-80 can be sold for $145 a gallon. The process is completed at point 3-products GS-505 and GS-805 have a sales price of $585 a gallon and $225 a gallon, respectively. Required: Allocate the joint product costs and then compute the cost per unit using each of the following methods: (1) physical measure, (2) sales value at split-off, and (3) net realizable value. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount.)…
