A manufacturer uses process costing. It has one direct material cost pool and one conversion cost pool. Information for the month is as follows:
Beginning of Month End of Month
Work in process: 6,000 units 2,000 units
Conversion (% of completion in WIP): 70% 40%
Costs of Materials in WIP: $ 90,000 ?
Costs of Conversion in WIP: $ 80,000 ?
During the month:
Units started during the month: 33,000 units
Costs incurred for Materials: $320,000
Costs incurred for Conversion: $290,000
Total Spoiled Units detected: 1,400 units
Other Income Statement Information:
Sales: $999,000
Admin expenses $200,000
Inspection occurs when units are 90% converted, and inspection determines if the units are "acceptable" or "spoiled". Normal Spoilage is based on 2% of units started.
80% of direct materials is added at the beginning of the process, and the remaining 20% of direct materials (for packaging) is added immediately after inspection.
There were no finished goods or raw material inventories at any point of the process.
Required:
Part A: Calculate the value of ending WIP, and prepare an Income Statement for the month assuming that process costing is based on modified FIFO,
Part B: Calculate the value of ending WIP, and prepare an Income Statement for the month assuming that process costing is based on Weighted Average.
