Question

A company that makes baseball gloves produces them using 2 production departments. When the gloves are produced they first go through the Fabrication Department, which produces the pieces that are later assembled into a glove. After the Fabrication Department completes its work on the glove, the glove goes to the Assembly Department to finish putting the glove together.

The following data is for the Fabrication Department for the month of June:

Units in the beginning work-in-process inventory                              5,000

Units started during the month                                                           40,000

Units completed during the month and transferred out                37,500

Units in the ending work-in-process inventory                                  7,500

Units in the ending work-in-process inventory are 80% completed in terms of direct materials and 30% completed in terms of conversion costs  

Costs in the beginning work-in-process inventory - $11,000 of direct materials costs and $8,750 of conversion costs

Costs incurred in the month of June - $250,000 of direct materials costs and $190,000 of conversion costs

Please complete the 5 steps involved in process costing:

1: Account for all the units

2: Calculate the number of equivalent units in terms of direct materials and conversion costs

3: Calculate the amounts spent on direct materials and conversion costs

4: Calculate the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs

5: Allocate the total amount spent on the cost of goods completed (transferred out) and the cost assigned to the ending work-in-process inventory.
