BE 17-2 Units to be assigned costs Jabari Steel Company has two departments, Casting and Rolling. In the Rolling Department, ingots from the Casting Department are rolled into steel sheet. The Rolling Department received 16,000 tons from the Casting Department in October. During October, the Rolling Department completed 15,600 tons, including 800 tons of work in process on October 1. The ending work in process inventory on October 31 was 1,200 tons. How many tons were started and completed during October?

The Rolling Department of Kraus Steel Company had 200 tons in beginning work in process inventory (60% complete) on October 1. During October, 3,900 tons were completed. The ending work in process inventory on October 31 was 300 tons (25% complete). What are the total equivalent units for direct materials for October if materials are added at the beginning of the process?

Work in process account data for two months; cost of production reports Pittsburgh Aluminum Company uses a process cost system to record the costs of manufacturing rolled aluminum, which consists of the smelting and rolling processes. Materials are entered from smelting at the beginning of the rolling process. The inventory of Work in ProcessRolling on September 1 and debits to the account during September were as follows: During September, 2,600 units in process on September 1 were completed, and of the 28,900 units entering the department, all were completed except 2,900 units that were 45 completed. Charges to Work in ProcessRolling for October were as follows: During October, the units in process at the beginning of the month were completed, and of the 31,000 units entering the department, all were completed except 2,000 units that were 25 completed. Instructions 1. Enter the balance as of September 1 in a four-column account for Work in ProcessRolling. Record the debits and the credits in the account for September. Construct a cost of production report and present computations for determining (A) equivalent units of production for materials and conversion, (B) costs per equivalent unit, (C) cost of goods finished, differentiating between units started in the prior period and units started and finished in September, and (D) work in process inventory. 2. Provide the same information for October by recording the October transactions in the four-column work in process account. Construct a cost of production report, and present the October computations (A through D) listed in part (1). 3. Comment on the change in costs per equivalent unit for August through October for direct materials and conversion cost.

In October, the cost of materials transferred into the Rolling Department from the Casting Department of Kraus Steel Company is 3,000,000. The conversion cost for the period in the Rolling Department is 462,600 (275,000 factory overhead applied and 187,600 direct labor). The total cost transferred to Finished Goods for the period was 3,392,400. The Rolling Department had a beginning inventory of 163,800. a. Journalize for the Rolling Department (1) the cost of transferred-in materials, (2) the conversion costs, and (3) the costs transferred out to Finished Goods. b. Determine the balance of Work in ProcessRolling at the end of the period.
