Question

alamoto Co. manufactures a single product that goes through two processes — mixing and cooking. The following data pertains to the Mixing Department for September.

Work-in-process Inventory Sept. 1	28,000	units
Conversion complete	70%
Work-in-process inventory Sept. 30	16,000	units
Conversion complete	50%
Units started into production in Sept.	72,000
Units completed and transferred out	?	units
Costs
Work-in-process inventory Sept.1	$120,000
Material P	110,000
Material Q	165,000
Conversion
Costs added in September
Material P	$180,000
Material Q	165,000
Conversion	354,800

Material P is added at the beginning of work in the Mixing Department. Material Q is also added in the Mixing Department, but not until units of product are forty percent completed with regard to conversion. Conversion costs are incurred uniformly during the process.

Cost per equivalent unit for conversion under the weighted-average method is calculated to be:

		$2.75.
		$4.60.
		$3.00.
		$2.30.
		$5.65.

he journal entry to record finished product units would include a debit to:

		Work-in-Process Inventory.
		Accrued Payroll.
		Factory Overhead.
		Materials Inventory.
		Finished Goods Inventory.

Answer 1

1) Unit transferred out = 28000+72000-16000 = 84000

Equivalent unit of material under weighted average method = 84000+(16000*50%) = 92000 Units

Total Cost of conversion Cost = 165000+354800 = 519800

Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = 519800/92000 = 5.65

So answer is e) $5.65

2) Journal entry :to record finished product units would include a debit to

Date	account and explanation	debit	credit
	Finished goods inventory
	Work in process

So answer is e) Finished goods inventory
