Livingston Co. uses process costing to account for the production of elastic bands. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. Beginning inventory consisted of $14,000 in materials and $8,000 in conversion costs. April costs were $72,000 for materials and $80,000 for conversion costs. During April 8,000 units were completed. Ending in process inventory was 4,000 units (100% complete for materials, 50% for conversion) . The total cost per unit using the weighted average method would be:


A) $15.9667
B) $13.8382
C) $14.0000
D) $14.5000

Kenney Co. uses process costing to account for the production of canned energy drinks. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. Equivalent units have been calculated to be 19,200 units for materials and 16,000 units for conversion costs. Beginning inventory consisted of $11,200 in materials and $6,400 in conversion costs. April costs were $57,600 for materials and $64,000 for conversion costs. Ending inventory still in process was 6,400 units (100% complete for materials, 50% for conversion) . The cost per equivalent unit for materials using the weighted average method would be closest to:


A) $0.9167
B) $3.0000
C) $3.5833
D) $7.2500

Which of the following is not a characteristic of process costing?


A) Products are homogenous.
B) Costs are traced to production processes rather than products.
C) Service firms cannot use process costing.
D) Processes are standardizeD.
Process costing is used when products or processes are standardized and when costs are traced to the overall process, rather than an individual project. Although process costing is most often identified with manufacturing companies, service firms can use process costing as well.

Kramer Corp. began the current period with 4,000 units in process that were 100% complete as to materials and 60% complete as to conversion. Costs of $7,500 in direct materials and $4,700 in conversion costs were incurred in manufacturing those units in the previous period. Kramer ended the current period with 20,000 units completed and 5,000 units still in process. Work in process was 100% complete as to materials and 70% complete as to conversion costs. Kramer incurred $67,500 in direct materials costs, $7,000 in direct labor costs, and $40,000 in manufacturing overhead costs during the period. Required: Using the weighted average method, compute the following: a. Equivalent units of production for materials. b. Equivalent units of production for conversion. c. Cost per equivalent unit for materials. d. Cost per equivalent unit for conversion. e. Cost assigned to ending Work in Process Inventory f. Cost assigned to goods completed and transferred out
