Direct material is added at the beginning of the production process, and conversion activity occurs uniformly throughout the process. b. The company uses weighted-average process costing.

The July 1 work in process was 30 percent complete as to conversion. d. The July 31 work in process was 40 percent complete as to conversion. Required: Compute the missing amounts, and prepare the firm’s July production report.

Solution

Solution:

Total units to be accounted for = 65000 units

Units in beginning WIP = 20000 units

Units started during period = 65000 - 20000 = 45000 units

Units in ending WIP = 15000 units

Units completed during period = 65000 - 15000 = 50000 units

Cost per equivalant unit - Direct material = $8.25

Total Cost per equivalant unit = $21.45

Cost per equivalant unit - conversion = $21.45 - $8.25 = $13.20

Total cost of direct material = 65000 * $8.25 = $536,250

Direct material cost in beginning WIP = $164,400

Direct material cost incurred during period = $536,250 - $164,400 = $371,850

Equivalant units of conversion = 50000 + 15000*40% = 56000 units

Total cost of conversion = 56000 * $13.20 = $739,200

conversion cost incurred during july = $659,400

Converstion cost from begining WIP = $739,200 - $659,400 = $79,800
