Weighted Average Method, Physical Flow, Equivalent Units, Unit Costs, Cost Assignment, ABC

Swasey Fabrication, Inc., manufactures frames for bicycles. Each frame passes through three processes: Cutting, Welding, and Painting. In September, the Cutting Department of the Tulsa, Oklahoma, plant reported the following data:

  1. In Cutting, all direct materials are added at the beginning of the process.
  2. Beginning work in process consisted of 41,000 units, 20 percent complete with respect to direct labor and overhead. Costs in beginning inventory included direct materials, $1,205,000; direct labor, $222,800; and applied overhead, $150,000.
  3. Costs added to production during the month were direct materials, $2,715,800; direct labor, $3,477,200. Overhead was assigned using the following information:
    Activity Rate Actual Driver Usage
    Inspection $150 per inspection hour 4,000 inspection hours
    Maintenance $750 per maintenance hour 1,600 maintenance hours
    Receiving $300 per receiving order 2,000 receiving orders
  4. At the end of the month, 121,600 units were transferred out to Welding, leaving 13,600 units in ending work in process, or 25 percent complete.

Required:

1. Prepare a physical flow schedule.

Feedback

1. The physical flow schedule traces the units in process regardless of their stage of completion and provides the information needed for preparing the equivalent units schedule.

2. Calculate equivalent units of production for direct materials and conversion costs.
