Process Costing using Weighted Average
Timberline Associates uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The following data are for the first processing department for a recent month:
Work in process, beginning:
Units in process ........................................................ 2,400
Percent complete with respect to materials .............. 75%
Percent complete with respect to conversion ........... 50%
Costs in the beginning inventory:
Materials cost ........................................................... $8,400
Conversion cost ........................................................ $7,200
Units started into production during the month........... 20,800
Units completed and transferred out ........................... 22,200
Costs added to production during the month:
Materials cost ........................................................... $97,400
Conversion cost ........................................................ $129,600
Work in process, ending:
Units in process ........................................................ 1,000
Percent complete with respect to materials .............. 80%
Percent complete with respect to conversion ........... 60%
Required:
Question a. Determine the equivalent units of production.
Question b. Determine the costs per equivalent unit.
Question c. Determine the cost of ending work in process inventory.
Question d. Determine the cost of the units transferred to the next department.
Process Costing using First-in-First Out (FIFO)
Crone Corporation uses the FIFO method in its processing costing system. The following data concern the company's Assembly Department for the month of October.
Cost in beginning work in process inventory ........ $1,920
Units started and completed this month ................ 3,130
Materials Conversion
Cost per equivalent unit......................................... $9.50 $20.40
Equivalent units required to complete the units in
beginning work in process inventory................. 360 140
Equivalent units in ending work in process
inventory ............................................................ 330 264
Required:
Question 1: Determine the cost of ending work in process inventory and the cost of units transferred out of the department during October using the FIFO method.
Activity-Based Costing
Welk Manufacturing Corporation has a traditional costing system in which it applies manufacturing overhead to its products using a predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor-hours (DLHs). The company has two products, H16Z and P25P, about which it has provided the following data:
H16Z P25P
Direct materials per unit ................ $10.20 $50.50
Direct labor per unit ...................... $8.40 $25.20
Direct labor-hours per unit ............ 0.40 1.20
Annual production ......................... 30,000 10,000
The company's estimated total manufacturing overhead for the year is $1,464,480 and the company's estimated total direct labor-hours for the year is 24,000.
The company is considering using a variation of activity-based costing to determine its unit product costs for external reports. Data for this proposed activity-based costing system appear below:
Activities and Activity Measures Estimated Overhead Cost
Supporting direct labor (DLHs) ................. $ 552,000
Setting up machines (setups) ..................... 132,480
Parts administration (part types) ................ 780,000
Total ........................................................... $1,464,480
H16Z P25P Total
Supporting direct labor ...... 12,000 12,000 24,000
Setting up machines ........... 864 240 1,104
Parts administration ........... 600 960 1,560
Required:
Question a. Determine the manufacturing overhead cost per unit of each of the company's two products under the traditional costing system.
Question b. Determine the manufacturing overhead cost per unit of each of the company's two products under activity-based costing system.
