Hamilton, Inc. manufactures units in two processes: Production
and Finishing. All direct materials are added at the beginning of
the Production process, while conversion costs are incurred evenly
throughout the period for both Production and Finishing. Hamilton
employs three inspectors: Kasey, Chad, and Lexi. Kasey inspects
direct materials before they are added to Production (two pieces of
direct materials per unit). Chad inspects units when the Production
process is finished, after which they are immediately transferred
to Finishing. Lexi inspects units at the end of the Finishing
process. This period, none of the materials or units failed
inspection. At the beginning of the period, 6,000 units had only
"Inspected by Kasey" tags on them (these units were 70% complete),
and 3,200 units had "Inspected by Kasey" and "Inspected by Chad"
tags on them (these units were 60% complete). At the end of the
period, 9,000 units had only "Inspected by Kasey" tags on them
(these units were 50% complete). 1,800 units had only "Inspected by
Kasey" and "Inspected by Chad" tags on them (these units were 90%
complete), and 19,900 units had tags from all three inspectors on
them (these units were 100% complete).
Required:
a. Using the weighted-average method, determine the number
of physical units in beginning Work in Process in Production during
the period.
b. Using the weighted-average method, determine
the number of physical units started in Production during the
period.
c. Using the weighted-average method, determine
the number of physical units transferred from Production to
Finishing during the period.
d. Using the weighted-average method, determine
the number of physical units in ending Work in Process in
Production during the period.
e. Using the weighted-average method, determine
the number of physical units in beginning Work in Process in
Finishing during the period.
f. Using the weighted-average method, determine
the number of physical units in ending Work in Process in Finishing
during the period.
g. Using the weighted-average method, determine
the number of physical units completed in Finishing during the
period.
h. Using the weighted-average method, determine
the number of equivalent units for direct materials for
Production
i. Using the weighted-average method, determine
the number of equivalent units for conversion for Production
j. Using the weighted-average method, determine
the number of equivalent units for direct materials for
Finishing
k. Using the weighted-average method, determine
the number of equivalent units for conversion for Finishing
Solution:
a. Number of physical units in opening WIP in production department = Unit having "inspected by Kasey" tag on them at begining = 6000 units
b. Number of physcial unit started in production = Unit transferred to finishing + Closing WIP - Opening WIP
Unit transferred to finishing = Unit completed in finishing + Closing WIP in finishing - Opening WIP in finishing
= 19900 + 1800 - 3200 = 18500 units
Number of physcial unit started in production = 18500 + 9000 - 6000 = 21500 unit
c. Phyiscal unit transferred from production to finishing = 18500 units
d. Physical units in ending WIP in production department = Unit having "inspected by Kasey" tag on them at the end of period = 9000 units
e. Number of physical units in opening WIP in finishing department = Unit having "inspected by Kasey" & "Inspected by Chad" tag on them at begining = 3200 units
f. Physical units in ending WIP in finishing department = Unit having "inspected by Kasey" & "Inspected by chad" tag on them at the end of period = 1800 units
g. Number of physical units completed in finishing = Unit having "inspected by Kasey" , "Inspected by chad" & " inspected by Lexi" tag on them = 19900 units
