Chapter 5, Problem 5.46BE
Compute equivalent units and assign costs (Learning Objectives 2, 3, & 4)
The Assembly Department of Thomas Motors began September with no work in process inventory. During the month, production that cost $35,282 (direct materials, $8,242, and conversion costs, $27,040) was started on 23,000 units. Thomas completed and transferred to the Testing Department a total of 12,000 units. The ending work in process inventory was 35% complete as to direct materials and 80% complete as to conversion work.
Requirements
- 1. Compute the equivalent units for direct materials and conversion costs.
- 2. Compute the cost per equivalent unit.
- 3. Assign the costs to units completed and transferred out and ending work in process inventory.
- 4. Record the
journal entry for the costs transferred out of the Assembly Department to the Testing Department. - 5. Post all of the transactions in the Work in Process Inventory—Assembly T-account. What is the ending balance?

S5-13 Find unit cost and gross profit on a final product (Learning Objective 5)
Counter Co. produces Formica countertops in two sequential production departments:
Forming and Polishing. The Polishing Department calculated the following costs per
equivalent unit (square feet) on its October production cost report:
Transferred-in
$2.44
Direct Materials Conversion Costs
$0.40
$1.66
Cost per equivalent unit:
During October, 165,000 square feet were completed and transferred out of the
Polishing Department to Finished Goods Inventory. The countertops were subsequently
sold for $13.00 per square foot.
1. What was the cost per square foot of the finished product?
2. Did most of the production cost occur in the Forming Department or in the Polishing
Department? Explain how you can tell where the most production cost occurred.
3. What was the gross profit per square foot?
4. What was the total gross profit on the countertops produced in October?
City University uses a process cost system to accumulate costs incurred in handling student applications in the admissions department. When an application is completed, it is forwarded to the appropriate academic department for final processing. The following processing and cost data pertain to March.
1. Applications in process on March 1 250
2. Applications started in March 1,100
3. Completed applications during March 950
4. Applications still in process at March 31
were 100% complete as to materials (forms)
and 75% complete as to conversion costs.
