Hamilton, Inc. manufactures units in two processes: Production and Finishing. All direct materials are added at the beginning of the Production process, while conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the period for both Production and Finishing. Hamilton employs three inspectors: Kasey, Chad, and Lexi. Kasey inspects direct materials before they are added to Production (two pieces of direct materials per unit). Chad inspects units when the Production process is finished, after which they are immediately transferred to Finishing. Lexi inspects units at the end of the Finishing process. This period, none of the materials or units failed inspection. At the beginning of the period, 5,000 units had only "Inspected by Kasey" tags on them (these units were 70% complete), and 2,000 units had "Inspected by Kasey" and "Inspected by Chad" tags on them (these units were 60% complete). At the end of the period, 7,000 units had only "Inspected by Kasey" tags on them (these units were 50% complete). 1,000 units had only "Inspected by Kasey" and "Inspected by Chad" tags on them (these units were 90% complete), and 19,000 units had tags from all three inspectors on them (these units were 100% complete). In the Finishing Department, Hamilton incurred $38,000 in direct materials costs and $76,000 in conversion costs in the current period. Beginning Work in Process Inventory for the Finishing Department carried a value of $4,000 in direct materials and $3,600 in conversion costs. Required: Using the weighted average method, determine the number of physical units: a. in beginning Work in Process in Production during the period. b. started in Production during the period. c. transferred from Production to Finishing during the period. d. in ending Work in Process in Production during the period. e. in beginning Work in Process in Finishing during the period. f. in ending Work in Process in Finishing during the period. g. completed in Finishing during the period. Using the weighted average method, determine the number of equivalent units: h. for direct materials for Production i. for conversion for Production j. for direct materials for Finishing k. for conversion for Finishing Using the weighted average method, determine the cost per equivalent unit: l. for direct materials for Finishing m. for conversion for Finishing

Ridgeway Co. has provided the following information: Using the weighted average method of process costing, complete each of the following: a. How many units were completed and transferred to Finished Goods? b. Calculate equivalent units. c. Calculate cost per equivalent unit. Round your answers to four decimal places. d. What is the dollar amount transferred to Finished Goods? Round your answer to a whole dollar amount. e. Calculate the cost of the ending Work in Process. Round your answer to a whole dollar amount.

How is the ending balance in Work in Process Inventory calculated for a firm that uses the weighted average method of process costing?

Trout, Inc. prepared the following production report: Additional information: Trout adds direct materials at the beginning of the process, while conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. At the beginning of the period, Work in Process Inventory was 40% complete. At the end of the period, Work in Process Inventory was 70% complete. Required: Fill in the missing amounts.

For a process costing firm, one could calculate the cost of beginning inventory in which of the following ways?

To reconcile the number of physical units using the weighted average method of process costing, one must determine whether the units were:

Which of the following is not a step in preparing a production report?

For a firm that uses process costing, calculating equivalent units makes it possible to fulfill which of the following requirements of GAAP?

A major difference between job order costing and process costing is the treatment of nonmanufacturing costs

Computing equivalent units is especially important for:

The total cost of Work in Process incurred in one department during the period must be allocated between costs transferred to the next department and costs transferred to Finished Goods

Frost, Inc. is a service firm that uses process costing. The firm worked on a total of 1,600 cases this month, 800 of which were completed during the period. The remaining cases were 40% complete. The firm incurred $180,000 in direct labor and manufacturing overhead costs during the period, and had $4,800 in direct labor and manufacturing costs in beginning inventory. Using the weighted average method, what was the total number of equivalent units?

Brody Corp. uses a process costing system in which direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. Beginning inventory for January consisted of 1,300 units that were 40% completed. 13,000 units were started into the process during January. On January 31, the inventory consisted of 650 units that were 70% completed. What would be the equivalent units for conversion cost using the weighted average method?

Trout, Inc. prepared the following production report: Additional information: Trout adds direct materials at the beginning of the process, while conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. At the beginning of the period, Work in Process Inventory was 40% complete. At the end of the period, Work in Process Inventory was 70% complete. Required: Fill in the missing amounts.

Bildy Corp. uses a process costing system. During January, 14,000 units were started, and 18,000 units were completed. On January 31, the inventory consisted of 500 units that were 70% completed. How many units were in beginning inventory on January 1?
