Chapter 18, Problem 37AP
Cheerful Colors manufactures crayons in a three-step process: mixing, molding, and packaging. The Mixing Department combines the direct materials of paraffin wax and pigments. The heated mixture is pumped to the Molding Department, where it is poured into molds. After the molds cool, the crayons are removed from the molds and are transferred to the Packaging Department, where paper wrappers are added and the crayons are boxed.
In the Mixing Department, the direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and the conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the process. Work in process of the Mixing Department on March 1, 2018, consisted of 800 batches of crayons that were 10% of the way through the production process. The beginning balance in Work-in-Process Inventory---Mixing was $32,800, which consisted of $14,000 in direct materials costs and $18,800 in conversion costs. During March, 5,200 batches were started in production. The Mixing Department transferred 3,000 batches to the Molding Department in March, and 3,000 were still in process on March 31. This ending inventory was 80% of the way through the mixing process. Cheerful Colors uses FIFO process costing.
At March 31, before recording the transfer of costs from the Mixing Department to the Molding Department, the Cheerful Colors general ledger included the following account:
Work-in Process Inventory—Mixing
Requirements
- 1. Prepare a production cost report for the Mixing Department for March. Round equivalent unit of production costs to four decimal places. Round all other costs to the nearest whole dollar.
- 2. Journalize all transactions affecting the Mixing Department during March, including the entries that have already been posted. Assume labor costs are accrued and not yet paid.

Christie's Co. manufactures cookies. The company has two departments, Mixing and Baking. For the Baking Department, material is added at the beginning of the process. Work happens evenly throughout the process, so Conversion Costs are added evenly to the product. Once mixing is complete, the cookies pieces are immediately transferred to the Baking Department. Once the baking is complete, the final product is transferred to Finished Goods Inventory. Data for the Baking Department is as follows:

Rich company produces a variety of stationery products. One product, sealing wax sticks,passes through two processes: blending and molding. The weighted average method is used toaccount for the cost of production. Two ingredients, paraffin and pigment are added at thebeginning of the process and heated and mixed for several hours. After blending, the resultingproduct is sent to the Molding department, where it is poured into molds and cooled. Thefollowing information relates to the blending process for November:a) Work in process, November 1, had 20,000 pounds, 20% complete with respect toconversion costs. Costs associated with partially completed units withParaffin $ 120,000Pigment $ 100,000Direct Labor $ 30,000Overhead applied $ 10,000b) Work in process, August 31, had 30,000 pounds, 70% complete with respect toconversion costs.c) Units completed and transferred out totaled 500,000 pounds.

Bavarian Chocolate Company processes chocolate into candy bars. The process begins by placing
direct materials (raw chocolate, milk, and sugar) into the Blending Department. All materials are
placed into production at the beginning of the blending process. After blending, the milk chocolate
is then transferred to the Molding Department, where the milk chocolate is formed into candy
bars. The following is a partial work in process account of the Blending Department at October 31:

- Healthway uses a process-costing system to compute the unit costs of the minerals that it produces. It has three departments: Mixing, Tableting, and Bottling. In Mixing, at the beginning of the process all materials are added and the ingredients for the minerals are measured, sifted, and blended together. The mix is transferred out in gallon containers. The Tableting Department takes the powdered mix and places it in capsules. One gallon of powdered mix converts to 1,600 capsules. After the capsules are filled and polished, they are transferred to Bottling where they are placed in bottles, which are then affixed with a safety seal and a lid and labeled. Each bottle receives 50 capsules. During July, the following results are available for the first two departments (direct materials are added at the beginning in both departments): Overhead in both departments is applied as a percentage of direct labor costs. In the Mixing Department, overhead is 200 percent of direct labor. In the Tableting Department, the overhead rate is 150 percent of direct labor. Required: 1. Prepare a production report for the Mixing Department using the weighted average method. Follow the five steps outlined in the chapter. Round unit cost to three decimal places. 2. Prepare a production report for the Tableting Department. Materials are added at the beginning of the process. Follow the five steps outlined in the chapter. Round unit cost to four decimal places.arrow_forwardBenson Pharmaceuticals uses a process-costing system to compute the unit costs of the over-the-counter cold remedies that it produces. It has three departments: mixing, encapsulating, and bottling. In mixing, the ingredients for the cold capsules are measured, sifted, and blended (with materials assumed to be uniformly added throughout the process). The mix is transferred out in gallon containers. The encapsulating department takes the powdered mix and places it in capsules (which are necessarily added at the beginning of the process). One gallon of powdered mix converts into 1,500 capsules. After the capsules are filled and polished, they are transferred to bottling, where they are placed in bottles that are then affixed with a safety seal, lid, and label. Each bottle receives 50 capsules. During March, the following results are available for the first two departments: Overhead in both departments is applied as a percentage of direct labor costs.

Prepare a production report for the encapsulating department using the weighted average method. Follow the five steps outlined in the chapter. (Note: Round to four decimal places for the unit cost.) 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Explain why the weighted average method is easier to use than FIFO. Explain when weighted average will give about the same results as FIFO.arrow_forwardScribners Corporation produces fine papers in three production departments—Pulping, Drying, and Finishing.
