Question

Weighted Average Method, Journal Entries

Muskoge Company uses a process-costing system. The company manufactures a product that is processed in two departments: Molding and Assembly. In the Molding Department, direct materials are added at the beginning of the process; in the Assembly Department, additional direct materials are added at the end of the process. In both departments, conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. As work is completed, it is transferred out. The following table summarizes the production activity and costs for February:

		Molding		Assembly
Beginning inventories:
Physical units		10,000		8,000
Costs:
Transferred in		—		$45,300
Direct materials		$22,000		—
Conversion costs		$13,800		$20,450
Current production:
Units started		25,000		?
Units transferred out		30,000		35,000
Costs:
Transferred in		—		?
Direct materials		$56,400		$39,550
Conversion costs		$106,900		$140,150
Percentage of completion:
Beginning inventory		40%		50%
Ending inventory		80		50

d. Calculate the cost of ending work in process and cost of goods transferred out. Round your answers to the nearest dollar.
Cost of ending work in process: $_______
Cost of goods transferred out: $________

e. A cost reconciliation. When required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.

Costs to account for:
Beginning work in process
Costs incurred
Total costs to account for

Costs accounted for:
Transferred out
Ending work in process

Conversion Costs
Transferred In

c. Calculate the total unit costs. Round your intermediate computations and final answer to four decimal places.
$______ per unit

d. Calculate the cost of ending work in process and cost of goods transferred out. Round your answers to the nearest dollar.
Cost of ending work in process: $________
Cost of goods transferred out: $_________

e. A cost reconciliation. If required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.

Costs to account for:
Beginning work in process
Costs incurred
Total costs to account for

Costs accounted for:
Transferred out
Ending work in process
Total costs accounted for

Note: Cost reconciliation totals differ due to rounding error.

Prepare journal entries that show the flow of manufacturing costs for the Assembly Department. (a) Materials are added at the end of the process, (b) conversion costs are recorded, and (c) the units are transferred to Finished Goods.
