Work in Process Account Data for Two Months; Cost of Production Reports

Pittsburgh Aluminum Company uses a process cost system to record the costs of manufacturing rolled aluminum, which consists of the smelting and rolling processes. Materials are entered from smelting at the beginning of the rolling process. The inventory of Work in Process—Rolling on September 1 and debits to the account during September were as follows:

Bal., 800 units, 20% completed:

Direct materials (800 x $4.6) $ 3,680

Conversion (800 x 20% x $1.9) 304

$ 3,984

From Smelting Department, 18,320 units $86,104

Direct labor 23,764

Factory overhead 12,796

During September, 800 units in process on September 1 were completed, and of the 18,320 units entering the department, all were completed except 1,700 units that were 60% completed. Charges to Work in Process—Rolling for October were as follows:

From Smelting Department, 21,100 units $103,390

Direct labor 29,590

Factory overhead 15,938

During October, the units in process at the beginning of the month were completed, and of the 21,100 units entering the department, all were completed except 1,000 units that were 90% completed.

Required:

1. Enter the balance as of September 1 in a four-column account for Work in Process—Rolling. Record the debits and the credits in the account for September. Construct a cost of production report and present computations for determining (a) equivalent units of production for materials and conversion, (b) costs per equivalent unit, (c) cost of goods finished, differentiating between units started in the prior period and units started and finished in September, and (d) work in process inventory. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.

Electronic Inc (EI) produces three types of circuit boards, A, B and C for the Computer Manufacturers and after sales maintenance industries. The cost system used by EI until 2013 was classified as the traditional where all cost except direct material and direct labour were allocated to each board based on the direct labour hours used to produce them, (i.e direct labour was the cost driver). The new Management accountant undertook a cost study to improve the costing and pricing of the boards and it was determined that they were six clearly identifiable cost pools which could be used to implement an ABC costing system.
