Balch acquired 80 percent of Birch's outstanding shares on January 1, 2016, in exchange for $369,000 in cash. The subsidiary's stockholders' equity accounts totaled $353,000 and the noncontrolling interest had a fair value of $92,250 on that day. However, a building (with a ten-year remaining life) in Birch's accounting records was undervalued by $19,000. Balch assigned the rest of the excess fair value over book value to Birch's patented technology (five-year remaining life).

Scribners Corporation produces fine papers in three production departments—Pulping, Drying, and Finishing. In the Pulping Department, raw materials such as wood fiber and rag cotton are mechanically and chemically treated to separate their fibers. The result is a thick slurry of fibers. In the Drying Department, the wet fibers transferred from the Pulping Department are laid down on porous webs, pressed to remove excess liquid, and dried in ovens. In the Finishing Department, the dried paper is coated, cut, and spooled onto reels. The company uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. Data for March for the Drying Department follow: |
|
Percent Completed |
||||||||
| Units | Pulping | Conversion | ||||||
| Work in process inventory, March 1 | 3,200 | 100 | % | 80 | % | |||
| Work in process inventory, March 31 | 4,800 | 100 | % | 75 | % | |||
| Pulping cost in work in process inventory, March 1 | $ | 1,808 | ||||||
| Conversion cost in work in process inventory, March 1 | $ | 1,248 | ||||||
| Units transferred to the next production department | 174,200 | |||||||
| Pulping cost added during March | $ | 103,802 | ||||||
| Conversion cost added during March | $ | 75,206 | ||||||
|
No materials are added in the Drying Department. Pulping cost represents the costs of the wet fibers transferred in from the Pulping Department. Wet fiber is processed in the Drying Department in batches; each unit in the above table is a batch and one batch of wet fibers produces a set amount of dried paper that is passed on to the Finishing Department. |
| Required: | |
| 1. | Determine the equivalent units for March for pulping and conversion. |
| 2. |
Compute the costs per equivalent unit for March for pulping and conversion. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) |
| 3. |
Determine the total cost of ending work in process inventory and the total cost of units transferred to the Finishing Department in March. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.) |
| 4. | Prepare a cost reconciliation report for the Drying Department for March. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.) |
