Can I get answer from melarcode? Only melarcode answered me correctly last time no any other anonymous.
Given the following information, prepare a cost of production report for Department B for July.
John Chemicals manufactures its products in two departments [A and B]. Data for Department B is listed below:
Units transferred from Department A...................................40,000
Per unit cost.........................................................................$3.20
Units transferred to finished goods......................................26,000
Units still in process [1/3 complete].......................................6000
Costs added by Department B:
Labor...............................................................................$31,500
Factory overhead..............................................................$23,100
All lost units are considered to be normal. Don't forget our per unit rounding rule.
Problem must be solved by the example below so use this:

Explanation / Answer
It is a problem on process costing. Goods are produced through two departments A and B. Goods of A transferred to B. Then from B it is transferred to finished goods. Two prolbems are most sigificant here . They are stated below:
1. First consider partly finished goods closing stock. It is 600 units. It is 1/3 rd .complete. So it will be considered as completed 600x(1/3)=200 units. It is known as equivalent quantity.
2. Next one is normal loss units. Total units transferred from A is 40,000. Out of this 26,000 is completed units and 600 unit is semi finsished stock. So balance (40,000-26,000-6000) is 8,000 units. Cost of this units will be bourne by good units produced and end stock.
Based on above discussions calculations are shown below:

Costs accounted for
are as follows:
Labor-
6000*1/3*1.125
Factory overhead-
6000*1/3*0.825
