- Use the following information for Problems 6-62 and 6-63: Millie Company produces a product that passes through an assembly process and a finishing process. All manufacturing costs are added uniformly for both processes. The following information was obtained for the assembly department for June: a. WIP, June 1, had 24,000 units (60% completed) and the following costs: b. During June, 70,000 units were completed and transferred to the finishing department, and the following costs were added to production: c. On June 30, there were 10,000 partially completed units in process. These units were 70% complete. 6-62 Weighted Average Method, Single-Department Analysis Refer to the information for Millie Company above. Required: Prepare a production report for the assembly department for June using the weighted average method of costing. The report should disclose the physical flow of units, equivalent units, and unit costs and should track the disposition of manufacturing costs.arrow_forwardUse the following information for Problems 6-62 and 6-63: Millie Company produces a product that passes through an assembly process and a finishing process.

Required: Prepare a production report for the assembly department for June using the FIFO method of costing. The report should disclose the physical flow of units, equivalent units, and unit costs and should track the disposition of manufacturing costs. (Note: Carry the unit cost computation to four decimal places.)arrow_forwardMimasca Inc. manufactures various holiday masks. Each mask is shaped from a piece of rubber in the molding department. The masks are then transferred to the finishing department, where they are painted and have elastic bands attached. Mimasca uses the weighted average method. In May, the molding department reported the following data: a. BWIP consisted of 15.000 units, 20% complete. Cost in beginning inventor) totaled 1,656. b. Costs added to production during the month were 26,094. c. At the end of the month, 45.000 units were transferred out to finishing. Then, 5,000 units remained in EWIP, 25% complete. Required: 1. Prepare a physical flow schedule. 2. Calculate equivalent units of production. 3. Compute unit cost. 4. Calculate the cost of goods transferred to finishing at the end of the month. Calculate the cost of ending inventor). 5. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Assume that the masks are inspected at the end of the molding process. Of the 45,000 units inspected, 2,500 are rejected as faulty and are discarded. Thus, only 42,500 units are transferred to the finishing department. The manager of Mimasca considers all such spoilage as abnormal and does not want to assign any of this cost to the 42.500 good units produced and transferred to finishing. Your task is to determine the cost of this spoilage of 2,500 units and then to discuss how you would account for this spoilage cost. Now suppose that the manager feels that this spoilage cost is just part of the cost of producing the good units transferred out. Therefore, he wants to assign this cost to the good production. Explain how this would be handled. (Hint: Spoiled units are a type of output, and equivalent units of spoilage can be calculated.)arrow_forward
- Equivalent units and related costs; cost of production report; entries Dover Chemical Company manufactures specialty chemicals by a series of three processes, all materials being introduced in the Distilling Department. From the Distilling Department, the materials pass through the Reaction and Filling departments, emerging as finished chemicals. The balance in the account Work in ProcessFilling was as follows on January 1: The following costs were charged to Work in ProcessFilling during January: During January, 53,000 units of specialty chemicals were completed. Work in ProcessFilling Department on January 31 was 2,700 units, 30% completed. Instructions 1. Prepare a cost of production report for the Filling Department for January. 2. Journalize the entries for costs transferred from Reaction to Filling and the costs transferred from Filling to Finished Goods. 3. Determine the increase or decrease in the cost per equivalent unit from December to January for direct materials and conversion costs. 4. Discuss the uses of the cost of production report and the results of part (3).arrow_forwardLarkin Company produces leather strips for western belts using three processes: cutting, design and coloring, and punching. The weighted average method is used for all three departments. The following information pertains to the Design and Coloring Department for the month of June: a. There was no beginning work in process. b. There were 400,000 units transferred in from the Cutting Department. c. Ending work in process, June 30: 50,000 strips, 80 percent complete with respect to conversion costs. d. Units completed and transferred out: 330,000 strips. The following costs were added during the month: a. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. b. Inspection takes place at the end of the process. All spoilage is considered normal. Required: 1. Calculate equivalent units of production for transferred-in materials, direct materials added, and conversion costs. 2. Calculate unit costs for the three categories of Requirement 1. 3. What is the total cost of units transferred out? What is the cost of ending work-in-process inventory? How is the cost of spoilage treated? 4. Assume that all spoilage is considered abnormal. Now, how is spoilage treated? Give the journal entry to account for the cost of the spoiled units. Some companies view all spoilage as abnormal. Explain why. 5. Assume that 80 percent of the units spoiled are abnormal and 20 percent are normal spoilage. Show the spoilage treatment for this scenario.arrow_forwardHeap Company manufactures a product that passes through two processes: Fabrication and Assembly.
