Question:
Chomp Pet Foods manufactures canned dog food. The firm employs a process costing system for its manufacturing operations. All direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. The company's production quantity schedule for June follows:
Units
Work in process on 1 June (65% completed as to conversion) 2,200
Units started during June 3,800
Total units to account for 6,000
Units completed and transferred out during June 4,000
Work in process on 30 June (20% completed as to conversion) 2,000
Total units accounted for 6,000
A review of the system indicates:
Cost relevant to the Work in progress 1 June:
o Direct material $440
o Conversion cost $550
Costs were added during the month:
o Direct material $1,216
o Conversion cost $1,785
Required: Keep all calculations to 2 decimal places.
- Calculate the total equivalent units of direct material and conversion cost during June. Use the weighted average method.
- Calculate the total equivalent units and costs per equivalent unit for direct material and conversion costs. Use the FIFO method.
- Calculate the cost of the ending work in process and the cost of the goods completed and transferred out. Use the FIFO method.
