32) Jared Beverage Corporation uses a process costing system to collect costs related to the production of its celery flavored cola. The cola is first processed in a Mixing Department and is then transferred out and finished up in the Bottling Department. The finished cases of cola are then transferred to Finished Goods Inventory. The following information relates to the company's two departments for the month of January:

Mixing Bottling
Cases of cola in work in process, January 1 10,000 5,000
Cases of cola completed/transferred out during January 65,000 ?
Cases of cola in work in process, January 31 4,000 7,000

How many cases of cola were completed and transferred to Finished Goods Inventory during January?
A) 70,000
B) 63,000
C) 58,000
D) 77,000

answer: C
Explanation: Weighted-average method

Equivalent units of production = Units transferred to the next department or to finished goods + Equivalent units in ending work in process inventory

47,500 = Units transferred to the next department or to finished goods + 10,000 × 75%

Units transferred to the next department or to finished goods = 47,500 − 10,000 × 75% = 40,000

Units in beginning work in process inventory + Units started into production or transferred in = Units in ending work in process inventory + Units completed and transferred out

15,000 + Units started into production or transferred in = 10,000 + 40,000

Units started into production or transferred in = 10,000 + 40,000 - 15,000 = 35,000

AACSB: Analytical Thinking

answer: B
Explanation: Weighted-average method

Units in beginning work in process inventory + Units started into production or transferred in = Units in ending work in process inventory + Units completed and transferred out

Finished Goods Inventory:

75,000 + Units completed and transferred to finished goods = 60,000 + 250,000

Units completed and transferred to finished goods = 60,000 + 300,000 - 75,000 = 285,000

Conversion
Units transferred to the next department 285,000

Conversion
Units transferred to the next department 85,000

42) Lucas Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The company adds materials at the beginning of the process in the Forming Department, which is the first of two stages in its production process. Information concerning operations in the Forming Department in October follows:

Units Materials
Cost
Work in process on October 1 6,000 $ 3,000
Units started during October 50,000 $ 25,560
Units completed and transferred to the next Department during October 44,000

What was the materials cost of work in process at October 31? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)
A) $3,060
B) $5,520
C) $6,000
D) $6,120

answer: D
Explanation: Weighted-average method

Units in beginning work in process inventory + Units started into production or transferred in = Units in ending work in process inventory + Units completed and transferred out

Units in ending work in process inventory = Units in beginning work in process inventory + Units started into production or transferred in - Units completed and transferred out = 6,000 + 50,000 - 44,000 = 12,000

Equivalent units of production = Units transferred to the next department or to finished goods + Equivalent units in ending work in process inventory = 44,000 + 12,000 = 56,000

Cost per equivalent unit = (Cost of beginning work in process inventory + Cost added during the period) ÷ Equivalent units of production = ($3,000 + $25,560) ÷ 56,000 equivalent units = $0.51 per equivalent unit

Material cost in ending inventory = 12,000 equivalent units × $0.51 per equivalent unit = $6,120

answer:
Weighted-average method:

Materials Conversion Total
Ending work in process inventory:
Equivalent units of production (a) 1,330 1,235
Cost per equivalent unit (b) $ 8.10 $ 28.50
Cost of ending work in process inventory (a) × (b) $ 10,773 $ 35,198 $ 45,971

Materials Conversion Total
Units completed and transferred out:
Units transferred to the next department (a) 7,400 7,400
Cost per equivalent unit (b) $ 8.10 $ 28.50
Cost of units completed and transferred out (a) × (b) $ 59,940 $ 210,900 $ 270,840

answer:
Cost of beginning work in process inventory + Costs added to production = Cost of ending working in process inventory + Cost of units transferred out

$30,000 + $345,000 = Cost of ending working in process inventory + $346,000

Cost of ending working in process inventory = $30,000 + $345,000 − $346,000

Costs to be accounted for:
Cost of beginning work in process inventory $ 30,000
Costs added to production during the month 345,000
Total cost to be accounted for $ 375,000
Costs accounted for as follows:
Cost of ending work in process inventory $ 29,000
Cost of units transferred out 346,000
Total cost accounted for $ 375,000

Topic: Cost Reconciliation Report Using the Weighted-Average Method
Learning Objective: 05-05 Prepare a cost reconciliation report using the weighted-average method.

AACSB: Analytical Thinking
AICPA: BB Critical Thinking;

answer: Cost of beginning work in process inventory + Costs added to production = Cost of ending working in process inventory + Cost of units transferred out

$34,000 + Costs added to production = $30,000 + $374,000

Costs added to production = $30,000 + $374,000 − $34,000 = $370,000

Costs to be accounted for:
Cost of beginning work in process inventory $ 34,000
Costs added to production during the month 370,000
Total cost to be accounted for $ 404,000
Costs accounted for as follows:
Cost of ending work in process inventory $ 30,000
Cost of units transferred out 374,000
Total cost accounted for $ 404,000
