Refer to the data in Problem 6.31. Assume that the FIFO method is used.
Required:
- 1. Prepare a physical flow schedule.
- 2. Calculate equivalent units of production for direct materials and conversion costs.
- 3. Compute unit cost. Round to three decimal places.
- 4. Calculate the cost of goods transferred to Painting at the end of the month. Calculate the cost of ending inventory.
1.
Prepare a physical flow of schedule.
Explanation of Solution
Process Costing: Process costing is method of cost accounting in which all the costs that are incurred during the production process are recorded. Output of one process becomes input for next process. This method is used to apply cot to similar products that are mass-produced in uninterrupted manner.
Prepare a physical flow of schedule.

4.
Calculate the cost of goods transferred and ending work in process for painting department at the end of the month.
Explanation of Solution
Calculate cost of goods transferred out.
Therefore, cost of goods transferred out amount is $9,487,595.
Calculate ending work in process inventory.
Therefore, ending work in process inventory amount is $536,115.

- The following data show the units in beginning work in process inventory, the number of units started, the number of units transferred, and the percent completion of the ending work in process for conversion. Given that materials are added at the beginning of the process, what are the equivalent units for material and conversion costs for each quarter using the weighted-average method? Assume that the quarters are independent.arrow_forwardThe following data show the units in beginning work in process inventory, the number of units started, the number of units transferred, and the percent completion of the ending work in process for conversion.
