Question 62

Crador Corp uses a process costing system in which direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. Beginning inventory for January consisted of 1,300 units. 13,000 units were started into the process during January. On January 31, the inventory consisted of 650 units. Equivalent units for conversion costs were 14,105. What percentage complete was the ending inventory with respect to conversion costs on January 31?

A. 70%

B. 80%

C. 90%

D. 100%

Answer 62

A. 70%

Completed units = 1,300 + 13,000 - 650 = 13,650. Equivalent units = (13,650 × 100%) + (650 × percentage of completion) = 14,105. Solving for the percentage of completion, (14,105 - 13,650)/650 = 70%.

Question 63

Gatlin Manufacturing adds direct materials at the beginning of the production process, while conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. At the end of the period, equivalent units for direct materials were 250 more than equivalent units for conversion costs. 1,000 units were started during the period, and 1,000 units were also completed. Ending Work in Process Inventory was 50% complete. How many physical units were in ending Work in Process Inventory?

A. 250

B. 500

C. 750

D. 1,000

Answer 63

B. 500

(100% × 1,000) + (100% × WIP) = 250 + (100% × 1,000) + (50% × WIP). WIP = 250/.5 = 500.

B. (Beginning Inventory + Current Costs)/Physical Units

C. (Ending Inventory + Current Costs)/Equivalent Units

D. (Beginning Inventory + Current Costs)/Equivalent Units

Answer 64

D. (Beginning Inventory + Current Costs)/Equivalent Units

To calculate cost per equivalent unit, we divide total manufacturing cost by the total number of equivalent units. The total manufacturing cost includes the cost of the units in beginning inventory plus the costs that were incurred during the current period.

Question 65

Under the weighted average method of process costing, the cost per equivalent unit is calculated for which of the following pairs of categories?

A. Units sold and units in ending Finished Goods Inventory.

B. Direct materials and conversion costs.

C. Manufacturing costs and nonmanufacturing costs.

D. Completed units and ending units in process.

Answer 65

B. Direct materials and conversion costs.

Because the equivalent units are different for direct materials and conversion costs, we must make a separate calculation for each category.

Question 66

Cost per equivalent unit is kept separate for direct materials and conversion costs because

A. the physical units were different for the two categories.

B. the total manufacturing costs were different for the two categories.

C. the equivalent units were different for the two categories.

D. the ending inventories were different for the two categories.

Answer 66

Question 69

For a process costing firm, one could calculate the cost of beginning inventory in which of the following ways?

A. (Equivalent units × cost per equivalent unit) - current costs

B. Current costs - (equivalent units × cost per equivalent unit)

C. (Current costs × cost per equivalent unit) - equivalent units

D. Equivalent units × (current costs - cost per equivalent unit)

Answer 69

A. (Equivalent units × cost per equivalent unit) - current costs

Cost per equivalent unit = (beginning inventory + current costs)/equivalent units, so beginning inventory = equivalent units × cost per equivalent unit - current costs.

Question 70

Kenney Co. uses process costing to account for the production of canned energy drinks. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. Equivalent units have been calculated to be 19,200 units for materials and 16,000 units for conversion costs. Beginning inventory consisted of $11,200 in materials and $6,400 in conversion costs.

Answer 99

A. 70%

Completed units = 1,000 + 10,000 - 500 = 10,500. Units started and completed = 10,500 - 1,000 = 9,500. Equivalent units = (1,000 × 60%) + (9,500 × 100%) + (500 × percentage of completion) = 10,450. Solving for the percentage of completion, (10,450 - 10,100)/500 = 70%.

Question 100

Heathcoat Co. uses process costing to account for the production of canned vegetables. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. Beginning inventory consisted of $7,000 in materials and $4,000 in conversion costs. April costs were $36,000 for materials and $40,000 for conversion costs. On April 1, there were 2,000 units in beginning inventory (80% complete). During April 10,000 units were completed. Ending in process inventory was 4,000 units (100% complete for materials, 40% for conversion). The cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs using the FIFO method would be

A. $4.00

B. $4.40

C. $1.10

D. $8.70

Answer 100

A. $4.00

Units started and completed = 10,000 - 2,000 - 8,000. Equivalent units for conversion costs = (2,000 × 20%) + (8,000 × 100%) + (4,000 × 40%) = 10,000. Cost per equivalent unit = $40,000/10,000 = $4.00.

Question 101

Heathcoat Co. uses process costing to account for the production of canned vegetables. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. Beginning inventory consisted of $7,000 in materials and $4,000 in conversion costs. April costs were $36,000 for materials and $40,000 for conversion costs. On April 1, there were 2,000 units in beginning inventory (80% complete). During April 10,000 units were completed.

A. $0.9167

B. $3.0000

C. $3.5833

D. $7.2500

Answer 101

B. $3.0000

Units started and completed = 10,000 - 2,000 - 8,000. Equivalent units for materials = (2,000 × 0%) + (8,000 × 100%) + (4,000 × 100%) = 12,000. Cost per equivalent unit = $36,000/12,000 = $3.00.

Question 102

Heathcoat Co. uses process costing to account for the production of canned vegetables. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. Beginning inventory consisted of $7,000 in materials and $4,000 in conversion costs. April costs were $36,000 for materials and $40,000 for conversion costs. On April 1, there were 2,000 units in beginning inventory (80% complete). During April 10,000 units were completed.

A. $7.9833

B. $6.9091

C. $7.0000

D. $7.2500

Answer 102

C. $7.0000

Units started and completed = 10,000 - 2,000 - 8,000. Equivalent units for materials = (2,000 × 0%) + (8,000 × 100%) + (4,000 × 100%) = 12,000, and for conversion costs = (2,000 × 20%) + (8,000 × 100%) + (4,000 × 40%) = 10,000. Cost per equivalent unit = $40,000/10,000 = $4.00 for conversion and $36,000/12,000 = $3.00 for materials. Total cost per unit = $4.00 + $3.00 = $7.00.
