Florida Tile produces ceramic tiles using two sequential production departments: Tile-Forming and Tile-Finishing. The following information was found for Florida Tile's first production process, the Tile-Forming Department.

Use the five steps of process costing to calculate the cost that should be assigned to (1) units completed and transferred out and(2) units still in ending work in process inventory. Then prepare the journal entry needed at month-end to transfer the costs associated with the formed tiles to the next department, Tile-Finishing.

Begin by summarizing the physical flow of units and computing total equivalent units for direct materials and for conversion costs.

Flow of	Equivalent Units
	Physical	Direct	Conversion
Flow of Production	Units	Materials	Costs
Units to account for:
Units accounted for:
Total equivalent units

Next, summarize total costs to account for.

Florida Tile: Tile-Forming Department
Costs to Account for
Month Ended May 31
		Direct	Conversion
		Materials	Costs	Total
Total costs to account for

Calculate the cost per equivalent unit. (Enter the cost per equivalent unit to the nearest cent.)

Florida Tile: Tile-Forming Department
Cost per Equivalent Unit
Month Ended May 31
	Direct	Conversion
	Materials	Costs
Cost per equivalent unit

Now we can calculate the total cost of the units completed and transferred out and the total cost of the ending work in process.(Enter quantities first, then the cost per equivalent unit amounts in the same order as calculated in the preceding step. Round the total costs to the nearest whole dollar.)

Assigning Costs
		Direct	Conversion	Total
		Materials	Costs
	Completed and transferred out:
	Ending work in process:
	Total costs accounted for

Finally, journalize the transfer of costs to the Finishing Department. (Record debits first, then credits. Exclude explanations from any journal entries.)
