Example of Process Cost Report
Let suppose that the beginning work in progress in a Company in the month of November was 1,000 units that were 100 percent complete in terms of materials and 75 percent complete like to conversion. Raw materials costs relating to beginning work in progress amounted to shs.3,000 and conversion was shs.1,000. 10,000 units were completed throughout the period and transferred to finished goods stock account. 2,000 units were now in process and were 100 percent complete in relation to materials and 50 percent complete in relation to conversion costs. Costs incurred throughout the period were raw materials shs.33,000, conversion shs.43,000;
Required
Employ both FIFO and weighted average methods, to find out cost per equivalent unit and value of ending inventory. Organize the process cost report.
