Mountain Springs Water Company has two departments, Purifying and Bottling. The Bottling Department had 8,000 liters in beginning work in process inventory (60% complete). During the period 70,000 liters were completed. The ending work in process was 3,000 liters (60% completed). What are the total equivalent units for direct materials under the FIFO method if materials were added at the beginning of the process?

One of the primary uses of a cost of production report is to assist management in controlling production costs.

Information for Nichols Manufacturing Company for the month of May is as follows: Prepare a cost of production report for the month of May, using the FIFO method.

The Bottling Department of Mountain Springs Water Company had 4,000 liters in beginning work in process inventory (40% complete). During the period, 66,000 liters were completed. The ending work in process inventory was 3,000 liters (70% complete). Using the FIFO method, what are the equivalent units for conversion costs?

If a company uses a process costing system to account for the costs in its five production departments, how many work in process accounts will it use?

The cost of production report summarizes (1) the units for which the department is accountable and the units to be assigned costs and (2) the costs charged to the department and the allocation of those costs.

If the costs for direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead were $522,200, $82,700, and $45,300, respectively, for 16,000 equivalent units of production, the conversion cost per equivalent unit was $8.00.

The direct materials costs and direct labor costs incurred by a production department are referred to as conversion costs.

In applying the first-in, first-out method of costing inventories, if 8,000 units which were 30% completed are in process at June 1, 28,000 units were completed during June, and 4,000 units were 80% completed at June 30, the number of equivalent units of production for June was 28,600.

The FIFO method separates work done on beginning inventory in the previous period from work done on it in the current period.

The first step in preparing a cost of production report is to compute equivalent units of production.

Mocha Company manufactures a single product by a continuous process, involving three production departments. The records indicate that direct materials, direct labor, and applied factory overhead for Department 1 were $100,000, $125,000, and $150,000, respectively. The records further indicate that direct materials, direct labor, and applied factory overhead for Department 2 were $55,000, $65,000, and $80,000, respectively. In addition, work in process at the beginning of the period for Department 1 totaled $75,000, and work in process at the end of the period totaled $60,000.​ -The journal entry to record the flow of costs into Department 2 for direct labor is

Mountain Springs Water Company has two departments, Purifying and Bottling. The Bottling Department received 58,000 liters from the Purifying Department. During the period, the Bottling Department completed 56,000 liters, including 4,000 liters of work in process at the beginning of the period. The ending work in process was 6,000 liters. How many liters were started and completed during the period?

Austin Company manufactures a product called Aster in a three-process series. All materials are introduced at the beginning of the first process. Austin uses the first-in, first-out method of inventory costing. Unit and cost data for the first process (Department A) for the month of December follow: Prepare Austin's Department A cost of production report for December.

Department G had 3,600 units 25% completed at the beginning of the period, 11,000 units were completed during the period; 3,000 units were 20% completed at the end of the period, and the following manufacturing costs debited to the departmental work in process account during the period: Work in process, beginning of period $40,000 Costs added during period: Direct materials (10,400 units at $8) 83,200 Direct labor 63,000 Factory overhead 25,000 -All direct materials are placed in process at the beginning of production and the first-in, first-out method of inventory costing is used. The total cost of the units started and completed during the period (round unit cost calculations to four decimal places) is

Department W had 2,400 units, one-third completed at the beginning of the period; 16,000 units were transferred to Department X from Department W during the period; and 1,800 units were one-half completed at the end of the period. Assume the completion ratios apply to direct materials and conversion costs.​ -The total number of units to be assigned cost on the cost of production report for Department W is

All costs of the processes in a process costing system ultimately pass through the cost of goods sold account.
