Weatherly Lumber Company processes wood pulp for manufacturing various paper products. The company employees a process costing system for its manufacturing operations. All direct materials are added at the beginning of the process, and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. This is the company's production schedule for May:
EN- Company uses a process-costing system. The company manufactures a product that is processed in two departments: molding and assembly. In the molding department, direct materials are added at the beginning of the process; in the assembly department, additional direct materials are added at the end of the process. In both departments, conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. As work is completed, it is transferred out. The following table summarizes the production activity and costs for March:
Required:1. Using the FIFO method, prepare the following for the assembly department: a. A physical flow schedule b. An equivalent units calculation c. Calculation of unit costs d. Cost of ending work in process and cost of goods transferred out e. A cost reconciliation2. Prepare journal entries that show the flow of manufacturing costs for the assembly department.
Middelton Company manufactures a product that passes through two processes: Fabrication and Assembly. The following information was obtained for the Fabrication Department for October:
All materials are added at the beginning of the process.
Beginning work in process had 125,000 units, 40 percent complete with respect to conversion costs.
Ending work in process had 25,000 units, 20 percent complete with respect to conversion costs.
Started in process, 175,000 units.
Question: Suppose that the cost of direct materials in beginning work in process is $560,000 and that the direct materials cost incurred for October is $700,000. With these changes, answer the following:
What is the unit materials cost for the units in BWIP?
What is the unit materials cost for units produced in October? Which method, weighted average or FIFO, should be used to answer this question? Explain why the unit materials cost is not the same for weighted average and FIFO. As part of your explanation,…
