Mocha Company manufactures a single product by a continuous process, involving three production departments. The records indicate that direct materials, direct labor, and applied factory overhead for Department 1 were $100,000, $125,000, and $150,000, respectively. The records further indicate that direct materials, direct labor, and applied factory overhead for Department 2 were $50,000, $60,000, and $70,000, respectively. Department 2 has transferred-in costs of $390,000 for the current period. In addition, work in process at the beginning of the period for Department 2 totaled $75,000, and work in process at the end of the period totaled $90,000. The journal entry to record the flow of costs into Department 3 during the period is

a.

Work in Process—Department 3555,000

Work in Process—Department 2555,000

b.

Work in Process—Department 3375,000

Work in Process—Department 2375,000

c.

Work in Process—Department 2490,000

d.

Work in Process—Department 3570,000

29. If a department that applies FIFO process costing starts the reporting period with 50,000 physical units that were 25% complete with respect to direct materials and 40% complete with respect to conversion, it must add 12,500 equivalent units of direct materials and 20,000 equivalent units to direct labor to complete them.
