A company uses a process costing system. Its Weaving Department completed and transferred out 120,000 units during the current period. The ending inventory in the Weaving Department consists of 40,000 units (20% complete with respect to direct materials and 60% complete with respect to conversion costs) . Determine the equivalent units of production for the Weaving Department for direct materials and conversion costs assuming the weighted average method.

If Department L uses $53,000 of direct labor and Department M uses $21,000 of direct labor, the following journal entry would be recorded using a process costing system:

During March, the production department of a process operations system completed and transferred to finished goods 25,000 units that were in process at the beginning of March and 110,000 units that were started and completed in March. March's beginning inventory units were 100% complete with respect to materials and 55% complete with respect to labor. At the end of March, 30,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 100% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to labor. The production department incurred direct materials cost of $253,000 and its beginning inventory included materials cost of $93,500. Compute the direct materials cost per equivalent unit for the department using the weighted-average method.

The FIFO method of computing equivalent units focuses on production activity in the current period only.

On a process cost summary, the total costs to account for (the processing costs for the period plus the Work in Process at the end of the period) should equal ________ (________ plus ________).

Yamada Company applies factory overhead to its production departments on the basis of 90% of direct labor costs. In the Assembly Department, Yamada had $125,000 of direct labor cost, and in the Finishing Department, Yamada had $35,000 of direct labor cost. The entry to apply overhead to these production departments is:

Sutton Company uses a process costing system. In May, 80,000 units were finished and transferred to finished goods. Ending Work in Process included 20,000 unfinished units 30% complete. Calculate the equivalent units of production for the year using the weighted average method.

A company uses the weighted average method for inventory costing. During a period, Department B finished and transferred 50,000 units to Department C. Also in Department B during the period, 10,000 units were started but brought only to a stage of being 60% completed. The number of equivalent units produced by Department B during the period was:

In a process costing system, factory overhead costs are allocated to production departments by using a predetermined overhead allocation rate.

If indirect materials costing $37,500 that were not clearly linked with any specific production process or department were used during a reporting period, the following journal entry would be recorded in the process costing system:

An organizational unit of a factory that has the responsibility for partially manufacturing or producing a product is called a:

At the beginning of the month, the Forming Department of Martin Manufacturing had 10,000 units in inventory, 30% complete as to materials, and 10% complete as to conversion. During the month the department started 60,000 units and transferred 62,000 units to the next manufacturing department. At the end of the month, the department had 8,000 units in inventory, 80% complete as to materials and 60% complete as to conversion. If Martin Manufacturing uses the weighted average method of process costing, compute the equivalent units for materials and conversion respectively for the Forming Department.

Refer to the following information about the Shaping Department of the Minnesota Factory for the month of August. Minnesota Factory uses the FIFO method of inventory costing. The cost per equivalent unit of materials is $10.00, and the cost per equivalent unit of labor and overhead is $22.00. Compute the cost that should be assigned to the ending Work in Process inventory for August.

Process costing systems are used only by companies that manufacture physical products; companies that provide services do not use process costing.
