Equivalent Units and Related Costs; Cost of Production Report; Entries

Dover Chemical Company manufactures specialty chemicals by a series of three processes, all materials being introduced in the Distilling Department. From the Distilling Department, the materials pass through the Reaction and Filling departments, emerging as finished chemicals.

The balance in the account Work in Process—Filling was as follows on January 1:

The following costs were charged to Work in Process—Filling during January:

During January, 29,400 units of specialty chemicals were completed. Work in Process—Filling Department on January 31 was 2,600 units, 10% completed.

Required:

1. Prepare a cost of production report for the Filling Department for January. If an amount is zero, enter "0". If required, round your cost per equivalent unit answers to two decimal places.

Feedback

1. Calculate equivalent units for materials and conversion costs. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit for materials and conversion costs. Calculate the costs assigned to the beginning inventory, the units started and completed, and the ending inventory.

2. Journalize the entries for (1) costs transferred from Reaction to Filling and (2) the cost transferred from Filling to Finished Goods.

Feedback

2. Remember that there are three types of inventory; materials, work in process, and finished goods. What costs are captured in the work in process account? Are these units 100% complete or are they being transferred to another department?

3. Determine the increase or decrease in the cost per equivalent unit from November to January for direct materials and conversion costs. If required, round your answers to two decimal places.

Work in Process—Filling Department (2,300 units, 60% completed): Direct materials (2,300 x $17.3) $39,790 Conversion (2,300 x 60% x $11.3) 15,594 $55,384
