I cannot figure out the beginning WIP on the FIFO side of this problem
| Problem 1: | ||||||||
| Overton Company has gathered the following information: | ||||||||
| Units | Materials | Conversion | ||||||
| Beginning WIP | 18000 | 100% | 50% | |||||
| Units Started | 214000 | |||||||
| Units Completed and transferred out | 190000 | |||||||
| Ending WIP | 42000 | 70% | 65% | |||||
| Costs: | Materials | Conversion | ||||||
| WIP | $16,370 | $17,490 | ||||||
| Costs Added during period | $214,000 | $265,000 | ||||||
| Requirements: | ||||||||
| 1. Complete the following using Weighted Average Method of Process Costing: | ||||||||
| a. Compute Equivalent Units | ||||||||
| b. Compute Cost per Equivalent Unit | ||||||||
| c. Determine costs of Ending WIP and Units Transferred | ||||||||
| d. Prepare reconciliation | ||||||||
| 2. Complete the following using FIFO Method of Process Costing: | ||||||||
| a. Compute Equivalent Units | ||||||||
| b. Compute Cost per Equivalent Unit | ||||||||
| c. Determine costs of Ending WIP and Units Transferred | ||||||||
| d. Prepare reconciliation | ||||||||
| Weighted Average Method | FIFO Method | |||||||
| 1. Calculate Equivalent Units | Material | Conversion | ||||||
| Materials | Conversion | To complete Beginning WIP | ||||||
| Units Completed and Transferred | 190,000 | 190,000 | 18,000 X (100%-70%) | 5,400 | ||||
| Ending WIP | 18,000 X (100% - 50%) | 9,000 | ||||||
| 42,000 X70% | 29,400 | Units Started & Completed | ||||||
| 42,000X65% | 27,300 | (190,000-18,000) | 172,000 | 172,000 | ||||
| EU of Production | 219400 | 217300 | Ending WIP | |||||
| 42,000X70% | 29,400 | |||||||
| 42,000X65% | 27,300 | |||||||
| EU of Production | 206,800 | 208,300 | ||||||
| 2. Calculated Cost per EU of Production | Total | Total | ||||||
| Beginning WIP Costs | $16,370 | $17,490 | $33,860 | Added Costs | 214,000 | 265,000 | 479,000 | |
| Added Costs | $214,000 | $265,000 | 479,000 | EU of Production | 206,800 | 208,300 | ||
| Total costs for period | $230,370 | $282,490 | $512,860 | Cost per EU | $ 1.034 | $ 1.272 | $ 2.306 | |
| EU of Production | $219,400 | $217,300 | ||||||
| Cost per EU | $ 1.05 | $ 1.30 | $ 2.35 | |||||
| 3. Assign Costs | Transferred Costs: | |||||||
| Transferred Costs: | Beginning WIP | |||||||
| (190,000X2.35) | $ 446,500.00 | Cost to Complete Beginning WIP | ||||||
| Conversion Costs (9,000X1.272) | $ 11,448.00 | |||||||
| Ending WIP: | Cost of Beginning WIP | 3 | ||||||
| Materials (29,400X$1.05) | 30,870 | Cost of Units Started & Completed | ||||||
| Conversion (27,300X$1.30) | 35,490 | $66,360 | (140,000 X $2.7132) | |||||
| Total Costs | $ 512,860.00 | Total Transferred Costs | ||||||
| Ending WIP: | ||||||||
| Materials (24,000 X $0.6171) | ||||||||
| Conversion (14,400 X $2.0962) | ||||||||
