A company's beginning Work in Process inventory consisted of 20,000 units that were 20% complete with respect to direct labor. These beginning units were completed and another 90,000 units were started during the current period. Of those started, 60,000 were finished and the remaining 30,000 were 40% complete at the end of the period. Using the weighted-average method, the equivalent units of production with regard to direct labor were:

A) 88,000.
B) 74,000.
C) 76,000.
D) 92,000.
E) 96,000.

Williams Company computed its cost per equivalent unit for direct materials to be $2.60 and its cost per equivalent unit for conversion to be $3.75. A total of 250,000 units of product were completed and transferred out as finished goods during the month. The ending Work in Process inventory consists of 36,000 equivalent units of direct materials and 36,000 equivalent units of conversion costs. The amount that should be reported in ending Work in Process Inventory is:

In a process costing system, the purchase of raw materials is credited to Raw Materials Inventory.

Kominski Company completed and transferred 90,000 units during the current period. Based on the following information, determine the cost of the units completed during the current reporting period and journalize the transfer.

The number of equivalent units of production assigned to ending Work in Process inventory should be equal to or less than the number of physical units in ending Work in Process inventory.

Giga Company uses a weighted average process cost system. The department started and finished 129,000 units during the current period. The ending inventory consists of 60,000 units that are 75% complete with respect to direct labor and overhead. All direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. The department incurred direct labor costs of $262,500 and overhead costs of $126,000. (a) Compute the equivalent cost per unit for direct labor. (b) Compute the equivalent cost per unit for overhead.

Process costing typically uses only one Work in Process Inventory account, while job order costing typically uses a separate Work in Process Inventory account for each department.

In a process costing system, when manufacturing overhead costs are applied to the cost of production, they are debited to:

Describe the flow of labor in a process costing system, including accounts used.

Sparky Corporation uses the FIFO method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Molding Department: Units: Beginning Inventory: 25,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 55% complete as to conversion. Units started and completed: 110,000. Units completed and transferred out: 135,000. Ending Inventory: 30,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion. Costs: Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $43,000. Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $48,850. Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $287,000. Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $599,150. Calculate the equivalent units of materials.

The FIFO method of computing equivalent units focuses on production activity in the current period only.

When direct labor and overhead enter the production process at different rates, it is appropriate to use a conversion cost per equivalent unit.

Equivalent units of production is the number of units that could have been started and completed given the costs incurred during the period.

During November, the production department of a process operations system completed and transferred to finished goods 35,000 units that were in process at the beginning of November and 110,000 units that were started and completed in November. November's beginning inventory units were 100% complete with respect to materials and 55% complete with respect to conversion. At the end of November, 40,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 100% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to conversion. Compute the number of equivalent units with respect to materials for November using the weighted-average method.

Equivalent units of production are equal to:

A company that applies process costing is most frequently characterized by:

Sparky Corporation uses the weighted-average method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Molding Department: Units: Beginning Inventory: 25,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 55% complete as to conversion.

Costs: Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $43,000. Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $48,850. Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $287,000. Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $599,150. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.

If the predetermined overhead allocation rate is 75% of direct labor cost, and the Assembly Department's direct labor cost for the reporting period is $20,000, the following entry would be made to record the allocation of overhead to the products processed in this department:

Sutton Company uses a process costing system. In May, 80,000 units were finished and transferred to finished goods. Ending Work in Process included 20,000 unfinished units 30% complete. Calculate the equivalent units of production for the year using the weighted average method.
