Weighted Average Method, Journal EntriesSeacrest Company uses a process-costing system. The company manufactures a product that isprocessed in two departments: A and B. As work is completed, it is transferred out. All inputsare added uniformly in Department A. The following summarizes the production activity andcosts for November:
Required:1. Using the weighted average method, prepare the following for Department A: (a) aphysical flow schedule, (b) an equivalent unit calculation, (c) calculation of unit costs(Note: Round to four decimal places.), (d) cost of EWIP and cost of goods transferredout, and (e) a cost reconciliation.
2. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Prepare journal entries that show the flow ofmanufacturing costs for Department A. Use a conversion cost control account forconversion costs. Many firms are now combining direct labor and overhead costs intoone category. They are not tracking direct labor separately. Offer some reasons for thispractice.
