Question

Clopack Company manufactures one product that goes through one processing department called Mixing. All raw materials are introduced at the start of work in the Mixing Department. The company uses the weighted-average method of process costing. Its Work in Process T-account for the Mixing Department for June follows (all forthcoming questions pertain to June):

Work in Process—Mixing Department
June 1 balance	40,000	Completed and transferred to Finished Goods	?
Materials	131,680
Direct labor	85,500
Overhead	103,000
June 30 balance	?

The June 1 work in process inventory consisted of 5,600 units with $21,270 in materials cost and $18,730 in conversion cost. The June 1 work in process inventory was 100% complete with respect to materials and 60% complete with respect to conversion. During June, 38,100 units were started into production. The June 30 work in process inventory consisted of 9,200 units that were 100% complete with respect to materials and 50% complete with respect to conversion.

A. Prepare the journal entries to record the raw materials used in production and the direct labor cost incurred. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

b. Prepare the journal entry to record the overhead cost applied to production. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

c. How many units were completed and transferred to finished goods during the period?

d. Compute the equivalent units of production for materials.

e. Compute the equivalent units of production for conversion.

f. What is the cost of beginning work in process inventory plus the cost added during the period for materials?

g. What is the cost of beginning work in process inventory plus the cost added during the period for conversion?

h. What is the cost per equivalent unit for materials? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

i. What is the cost per equivalent unit for conversion? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answer 1

a) Journal entry

Date	account and explanation	debit	credit
	Work in process	131680
	Direct material		131680
	(To record direct material)
	Work in process	85500
	Direct labor		85500
	(To record direct labor)

b) Journal entry

Date	Account and explanation	debit	credit
	Work in process	103000
	Manufacturing overhead		103000
	(To record manufacturing overhead)

c) Unit transferred out = 5600+38100-9200 = 34500

d) Equivalent unit of material = 34500+(9200*100%) = 43700

e) Equivalent unit of conversion = 34500+(9200*50%) = 39100

f) Cost of beginning work in process and cost added for material = 21270+131680 = 152950

g) Cost of beginning work in process and cost added for conversion = 18730+85500+103000 = 207230

h) Cost per equivalent unit of material = 152950/43700 = 3.5

i) Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = 207230/39100 = 5.3
