Maintaining a clean working environment is important to Life is Great​, an industrial parts manufacturer. Cleaning the plant is the responsibility of the maintenance department. The 80,000 square foot plant is thoroughly cleaned from four to eight times a month depending on the level and stage of production. For the most recent​ month, March, the plant was cleaned four times. The production schedule for the next quarter​ (April through​ June) indicates that the plant will need to be cleaned​ five, six, and eight times respectively. Two of the resources needed to clean the plant are labor and cleaning supplies. The cost driver for both resources is number of times the plant is cleaned. Plant cleaning laborers are​ full-time employees who are paid the same wages regardless of the number of times the plant is cleaned. Cleaning supplies is a variable cost. The March cost of labor was $ 27,000 and cleaning supplies used cost $ 9,600.

Requirement 1. Prepare a table that shows how labor​ cost, cleaning supplies​ cost, totalcost, and total cost per cleaning changes in response to the number of times the plant is cleaned. What is the predicted total cost of plant cleaning for the next​ quarter?

Begin by preparing a table that shows how labor​ cost, cleaning supplies​ cost, totalcost, and total cost per cleaning changes in response to the number of times the plant is cleaned. ​(Do not round until the final answer for the cost per cleaning. Then round to the nearest whole​ dollar.)

Fast Co. produces its product through a single processing department. Direct materials are added at the start of production, and conversion costs are added evenly throughout the process. The company uses monthly reporting periods for its weighted-average process costing system. The Work in Process Inventory account has a balance of $98,300 as of October 1, which consists of $21,300 of direct materials and $77,000 of conversion costs.


During the month the company incurred the following costs:

Direct materials $ 160,150
Conversion 813,880


During October, the company started 154,000 units and transferred 164,000 units to finished goods. At the end of the month, the work in process inventory consisted of 27,000 units that were 80% complete with respect to conversion costs.

Required:
1. Prepare the company’s process cost summary for October using the weighted-average method.
2. Prepare the journal entry dated October 31 to transfer the cost of the completed units to finished goods inventory.

Prepare the company’s process cost summary for October using the weighted-average method. (Round "Cost per EUP" to 2 decimal places.)
