The cost object in a job order system is the ______ and the cost object in a process costing system is the ______.
job; process or department
Each department in a process costing system, will use (one, two, none) …….
Work in Process account.
one
After determining the physical flow of units, the next step in process costing is:
compute equivalent units of production
Process operations is defined as a manufacturing process that includes: (Check all that apply.)
large volumes of similar products.
series of sequential processes.
Department X started 550 units during the accounting period, completed and transferred out 500 units and had an ending balance of 200 units. …………… units were in beginning goods in process inventory for the department.
150
(550 - 500 = 50
200 - 50 = 150units )
In process operations, where there is a series of repetitive processes, each …………. is a separate production department.
process
Equivalent units of production refers to the number of units that could have been:
started and completed
Process and job order operations are similar in that both:
are used to determine the cost per unit of product or service.
combine materials, labor, and overhead in producing products.
In a process costing system, which of the following is correct regarding the Work in Process Inventory account:
there will be a separate Work In Process account for each process or department
Department A completed and transferred out 2,100 units and had ending work in process inventory of 120 units. The ending inventory is 10% complete for materials and 70% complete for labor and overhead. The equivalent units of production for materials is ………..
units.
2112
(Reason: 2,100+120×10% )
List the four steps involving analysis when accounting for a department’s activity, with the first step listed on top.
- Physical flow
- Equivalent units
- Cody per equivalent units
- Assign and reconcile
A company using process operations started and processed 400 units in its first department. The units are 40% complete with respect to materials and 25% complete with respect to labor and overhead. The EUP for labor and overhead is ……..
units.
100 units
(Reason: 400×25% )
Department B had a beginning inventory balance of 150 units. During the accounting period, the department started an additional 950 units, and 975 units were completed and transfered out. Department B had an ending balance of ………. units.
125 units
(Reason 150+950−975 )
Department D had materials costs of $10,000 in beginning work in process inventory and added an additional $50,000 in materials costs this period. If the department had 20,000 EUP for materials, the cost per equivalent unit of production is $
……..
$3
(Reason (10,000+50,000)÷20,000 )
Understanding the cost of partially completed goods allows the manufacturer to:
measure production activity for the period
The cost object in a job order system is the ______ and the cost object in a process costing system is the ______.
job; process or department
A department completed and transferred to finished goods 75,000 units. The cost per EUP for direct materials is $8.00 and the cost per EUP for conversion cost is $6.00. The costs transferred to Finished Goods Inventory is $
$1,050,000
(Reason (75,000×8.00)+(75,000
×6.00) )
Department A completed and transferred out 2,100 units and had ending work in process inventory of 120 units. The ending inventory is 10% complete for materials and 70% complete for labor and overhead. The equivalent units of production for labor and overhead is …….
units.
2184
(Reason 2,100+120×70% )
A manufacturer has a process where materials are added all at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are added evenly throughout the manufacturing process. If 400 are 30% completed during the period, the EUP for conversion is
120
(Reason 400×30% )
A department begins the month with 100 units at a cost of $7,500 in work in process. An additional 1,000 units are started during the month and additional costs incurred are $12,500. At the end of the month, there are 200 units still in process which are 50% complete. The ending balance in Work in Process Inventory is $…
.
20,000
(Reason 7,500+12,500 )
True or false: Using the weighted-average method, the computation of EUP separates units into direct materials and conversion.
True
A manufacturing department has 50,000 EUP for units completed and transferred out and 4,500 EUP for units in ending inventory. Materials cost is $2.50 per EUP and labor/overhead cost is $3.75 per EUP. The total amount transferred out is $
312,500
(Reason (50,000×2.50)+(50,000
×3.75) )
Equivalent units of production refers to the number of units that could have been:
started and completed
Managers use the process cost summary for all of the following except:
evaluate company as a whole
A company completes 21,000 units this month and has ending goods in process inventory of 3,000 units which are estimated to be 40% complete. Direct materials cost per EUP is $5.00 and Conversion cost per EUP is $1.50. The cost transferred to Finished Goods Inventory is $
: 136500. FINISH
The parts of the process cost report include:
equivalent units of production.
physical flow of units.
cost assignment and reconciliation.
A company completes 21,000 units this month and has ending work in process inventory of 3,000 units which are estimated to be 40% complete. Total production costs are $666,000. The cost of ending Work in Process Inventory is $
: 36000 FINISH
The total beginning balance in Work in Process Inventory is $60,000, which included direct materials and conversion. During the period, the department incurred the following costs: direct materials $22,000 and conversion costs $142,000. The total costs to account for is $
224000
(Reason 60,000+22,000+142,000 )
The journal entry to record the purchase of materials on account in process cost accounting is a(n):
increase in assets and an increase in liabilities
Process cost information is prepared for the following reasons. (Check all that apply.)
To help factory managers evaluate department managers’ performances
To provide cost information for financial statements
To help department managers control costs
The journal entry to record the use of direct materials in process costing is a(n):
increase in one asset and a decrease in another asset.
A process cost report summarizes the following process costing steps: (Check all that apply).
physical flow of units
costs per equivalent unit of production
equivalent units of production
A department begins the month with 100 units at a cost of $7,500 in work in process. An additional 1,000 units are started during the month and additional costs incurred are $12,500. At the end of the month, there are 200 units still in process which are 50% complete. The ending balance in Work in Process Inventory is $
2,000
( Reason:
1. Calculate total cost (beg wpi costs + addintional costs): 7x500+12,500 =20,000
2. Calc equivalent units ((beg units +units started - end units) + (end units × % complete)): (100+1,000-200) +(200×50%) =1,000 3. Cost per equivalent units (total costs÷1,000): 20,000÷1,000 = 20 4. End balance WPI (cost per unit ×(end units × % complete): 20 × (200 × 50%) = 2,000 dollars
The journal entry to record the purchase of materials on account in process cost accounting is:
debit Raw Materials Inventory and credit Accounts Payable
The journal entry to record the use of indirect materials in process costing is to:
debit Factory Overhead and credit Raw Materials Inventory.
