(v) There were no unfinished goods in process 2 at the beginning of the period.
Required:
(a) Prepare a statement of equivalent production to determine the equivalent units and conversion costs and the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials (From Process 1 & Direct Material Added), Manufacturing Wages & Manufacturing Overhead.
(b) Calculate the: - Total cost of feed completed and transferred to Process 3 - Cost of abnormal losses - Cost of ending work-in-process inventory in Process 2
(c) Prepare the Work-In-Process Inventory - Process 2 T-account, clearly showing the ending balance.
(d) State the journal entries necessary to record the assignment of direct materials, direct manufacturing wages and manufacturing overhead applied to Process 2. Also give the journal entries to record the cost of product completed and transferred to Process 3.
