At the end of October, 200 units of unfinished product, 70% completed, were recorded in the ending Work-in-Process Inventory. Smith Electronic introduces all direct materials when the production process is 50% complete. Direct labor and factory overhead (i.e., conversion) costs are added uniformly throughout the process. Following is a summary of production costs incurred during October: Beginning work-in-process Direct Conversion Materials Costs $ 2,392 5,700 Costs added in October Total costs $ 9,000 $ 9,000 $ 8,092 Required: 1. Calculate each of the following amounts using weighted-average process costing: a. Equivalent units of direct materials and conversion. b. Equivalent unit costs of direct materials and conversion. c. Cost of goods completed and transferred out during the period. d. Cost of Work-in-Process Inventory at the end of the period. 2. Prepare a production cost report for October using the weighted-average method. 3. Repeat requirement 1 using the FIFO method. 4. Repeat requirement 2 using the FIFO method.
