Test Company uses a normal, process costing system to determine product cost. The company uses the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method to account for equivalent units and costs in beginning work-in-process.
The product passes through two departments: Department 1 and Department 2. In Department 2, all direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. The following information is available for Department 2 in July.
| Work-in-process, July 1 | |
| Units | 5,000 units |
| Costs | |
| Direct materials | $25,000 |
| Conversion cost | 16,000 |
| Transferred-in cost | 20,000 |
| July activity | |
| Units | |
| Transferred in | 50,000 units |
| Completed and transferred out | 45,000 units |
| Costs added | |
| Direct materials | $400,000 |
| Conversion cost | 184,000 |
| Transferred-in-cost | 200,000 |
| Percentage of completion | |
| Work-in-process, July 1 | 60% |
| Work-in-process, July 31 | 40% |
The journal entry to record the direct materials cost added in July would include
| A debit to work-in-process inventory (Department 2) for $425,000 | ||
| No entry would be required | ||
| A debit to raw materials inventory for $400,000 | ||
| A debit to work-in-process inventory (Department 2) for $400,000 |
The journal entry to record the transferred-in cost added in July would include
| A debit to work-in-process inventory (Department 1) for $200,000 | ||
| No entry would be required | ||
| A debit to work-in-process inventory (Department 2) for $220,000 | ||
| A debit to work-in-process inventory (Department 2) for $200,000 |
