n calculating unit cost in a process costing system, "conversion cost" is defined as the sum of:
| Direct and indirect material costs. | ||
| Direct and indirect labor costs. | ||
| Direct labor and factory overhead costs. | ||
| Indirect labor and factory overhead costs. | ||
| Indirect material and factory overhead costs. |
Units accounted for includes units completed and transferred out plus:
| Beginning inventory. | ||
| Units to account for. | ||
| Ending inventory. | ||
| Units started. |
Matrix Inc. calculates cost for an equivalent unit of production using both the weighted-average and the FIFO methods.
| Data for July: | |
| Work-in-process inventory, July 1 (36,000 units): | |
| Direct materials (100% completed) | $122,400 |
| Conversion (50% completed) | 76,800 |
| Balance in work in process inventory, July 1 | $199,200 |
| Units started during July | 90,000 |
| Units completed and transferred | 102,000 |
| Work-in-process inventory, July 31: | |
| Direct materials (100% completed) | 24,000 |
| Conversion (50% completed) | |
| Cost incurred during July: | |
| Direct materials | $180,000 |
| Conversion costs | 288,000 |
The cost of goods completed and transferred out under the weighted-average method is calculated to be:
| $96,000. | ||
| $476,400. | ||
| $571,200. | ||
| $484,000. | ||
| $468,200. |
Talamoto Co. manufactures a single product that goes through two processes mixing and cooking. The following data pertains to the Mixing Department for September.
| Work-in-process Inventory Sept. 1 | 28,000 | units |
| Conversion complete | 70% | |
| Work-in-process inventory Sept. 30 | 16,000 | units |
| Conversion complete | 50% | |
| Units started into production in Sept. | 72,000 | |
| Units completed and transferred out | ? | units |
| Costs | ||
| Work-in-process inventory Sept.1 | $120,000 | |
| Material P | 110,000 | |
| Material Q | 165,000 | |
| Conversion | ||
| Costs added in September | ||
| Material P | $180,000 | |
| Material Q | 165,000 | |
| Conversion | 354,800 |
Material P is added at the beginning of work in the Mixing Department. Material Q is also added in the Mixing Department, but not until units of product are forty percent completed with regard to conversion. Conversion costs are incurred uniformly during the process. Total equivalent units for Material P under the weighted-average method are calculated to be:
| 100,000 equivalent units. | ||
| 92,000 equivalent units. | ||
| 84,000 equivalent units. | ||
| 72,000 equivalent units. | ||
| 68,000 equivalent units. |
