Inventory in process, April 30 Total costs assigned by the Filling Department Cost of Production Report-May $ 2(b). Construct a cost of production report, and present computations for determining i. equivalent units of production for materials and conversion ii. costs per equivalent unit* iii. cost of goods finished, differentiating between units started in the prior period and units started and finished in April* iv. work in process inventory.* If an amount is zero, enter "0". Round your cost per unit answers to the nearest cent and final answers to the nearest dollar amount. UNITS Units charged to production: Inventory in process, May 1 Received from Cooking Department - HEARTY SOUP CO. Cost of Production Report-Filling Department For the Month Ended May 31 Equivalent Units Whole Units Direct Materials Conversion Hearty Soup Co. uses a process cost system to record the costs of processing soup, which requires the cooking and filling processes. Materials are entered from the cooking process at the beginning of the filling process. The inventory of Work in Process-Filling on April 1 and debits to the account during April were as follows: Bal., 800 units, 30% completed: Direct materials (800 x $4.40) $3,520 Conversion (800 30% x $1.75) 420 $3,940 From Cooking Department, 7,700 units $34,650 Direct labor Factory overhead 8,540 4,580 During April, 800 units in process on April 1 were completed, and of the 7,700 units entering the department, all were completed except 600 units that were 90% completed. Charges to Work in Process-Filling for May were as follows: From Cooking Department, 9,500 units $44,650 Direct labor Factory overhead 12,000 4,916 During May, the units in process at the beginning of the month were completed, and of the 9,500 units entering the department, all were completed except 250 units that were 35% completed. Required: 1. (a) Enter the balance as of April 1, in a four-column account for Work in Process-Filling. Record the debits and the credits in the account for April. (b) Construct a cost of production report, and present computations for determining i. equivalent units of production for materials and conversion. ii. costs per equivalent unit.* iii. cost of goods finished, differentiating between units started in the prior period and units started and finished in April.* iv. work in process inventory.* If an amount is zero, enter "0". Round your cost per unit answers to the nearest cent and final answers to the nearest dollar amount. 2. (a) Provide the same information for May by recording the May transactions in the four-column work in process account. (b) Construct a cost of production report, and present the May computations (i through iv) listed in part 1(b). 3. Comment on the change in costs per equivalent unit for March through May for direct materials and conversion costs.
