Conversion costs are generally added evenly throughout the process.

Carmelita Inc., has the following information available: At the beginning of the period, there were 500 units in process that were 60 percent complete as to conversion costs and 100 percent complete as to direct materials costs. During the period 4,500 units were started and completed. Ending inventory contained 340 units that were 30 percent complete as to conversion costs and 100 percent complete as to materials costs. (Assume that the company uses the FIFO process cost method.) The equivalent units of production for direct materials and conversion costs, respectively, were

Department B had 3,000 units in Work in Process that were 25% completed at the beginning of the period at a cost of $12,500. 13,700 units of direct materials were added during the period at a cost of $28,700. 15,000 units were completed during the period, and 1,700 units were 95% completed at the end of the period. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. Direct labor was $32,450 and factory overhead was $18,710. The number of equivalent units of production for the period for materials if the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories was:

The cost per equivalent units of direct materials and conversion in the Bottling Department of Beverages on Jolt Company is $.47 and $.15, respectively. The equivalent units to be assigned costs are as follows. The beginning work in process inventory had a cost of $3,500. Determine the cost of completed and transferred out production, and the ending work in process inventory.

The Bottling Department of Mountain Springs Water Company had 5,000 liters in beginning work in process inventory (20% complete). During the period, 58,000 liters were completed. The ending work in process inventory was 3,000 liters (90% complete). What are the equivalent units for conversion costs under the FIFO method?

Mocha Company manufactures a single product by a continuous process, involving three production departments. The records indicate that direct materials, direct labor, and applied factory overhead for Department 1 were $100,000, $125,000, and $150,000, respectively. The records further indicate that direct materials, direct labor, and applied factory overhead for Department 2 were $55,000, $65,000, and $80,000, respectively. In addition, work in process at the beginning of the period for Department 1 totaled $75,000, and work in process at the end of the period totaled $60,000. The journal entry to record the flow of costs from Department 1 into Department 2 during the period is:

In a process costing system, the cost per equivalent unit is computed before computing equivalent units.

Which of the following measures would not help managers to control and improve operations?

Conversion costs include materials, direct labor, and factory overhead.

Department A had 1,000 units in Work in Process that were 60% completed at the beginning of the period at a cost of $7,000. 4,000 units of direct materials were added during the period at a cost of $8,200. 4,500 units were completed during the period, and 500 units were 40% completed at the end of the period. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. Direct labor was $28,700 and factory overhead was $4,510. The cost of the 500 units in process at the end of the period if the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories was:

The records further indicate that direct materials, direct labor, and applied factory overhead for Department 2 were $50,000, $60,000, and $70,000, respectively. Department 2 has transferred-in costs of $390,000 for the current period. In addition, work in process at the beginning of the period for Department 2 totaled $75,000, and work in process at the end of the period totaled $90,000. The journal entry to record the flow of costs into Department 3 during the period is:

In a process costing system, each process will have a work in process inventory account.

The debits to Work in Process--Assembly Department for April, together with data concerning production, are as follows: All direct materials are placed in process at the beginning of the process and the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories. The materials cost per equivalent unit for April is:

If Department K had 2,500 units, 45% completed, in process at the beginning of the period, 15,000 units were completed during the period, and 1,200 units were 40% completed at the end of the period, what was the number of equivalent units of production for the period for conversion if the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories? Assume the completion percentage applies to both direct materials and conversion cost.
