Managerial Accounting, 4e (Whitecotton)

Chapter 3 Process Costing

1) Process costing is used to calculate the cost of homogenous goods or services.

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

3) A separate Work in Process Inventory account is used in process costing for each major production process.

4) Process costing often combines direct materials and direct labor into a single category called conversion costs.

5) The process costing production report is used to determine how much manufacturing cost to transfer out of Finished Goods Inventory and into Cost of Goods Sold.

6) The process costing production report can be prepared using either the weighted-average method or the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.

7) The key difference between a process costing production report prepared using one of the two acceptable methods is how they deal with any units and costs that are in ending Work in Process Inventory.

8) Equivalent units for materials may differ from the equivalent units for conversion costs.

9) An equivalent unit is a measure used to convert costs incurred in the previous period to costs incurred in the current period.

10) Under the weighted-average method, the only partially completed units that need to be addressed are the units in beginning inventory.

11) Cost per equivalent unit is calculated separately for direct materials and for conversion costs.

12) 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.

13) The production report contains information about the number of physical units and equivalent units, but not their costs.

14) Under the FIFO method, the units completed during the period must be allocated between beginning units in process and units started and completed.

15) Under process costing when the product is through the last production process, the journal entry for total manufacturing cost includes a debit to Work in Process Inventory and a credit to Finished Goods Inventory.

111) 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: Kelsey, Chad, and Lexi. Kelsey 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. During the current period, none of the materials or units failed inspection. At the beginning of the period, 5,000 units had only "Inspected by Kelsey" tags on them (these units were 70% complete), and 2,000 units had "Inspected by Kelsey" 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 Kelsey" tags on them (these units were 50% complete). 1,000 units had only "Inspected by Kelsey" 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).

128) 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.

Goods completed in Machining are transferred to Assembly where they are completed and transferred to Finished Goods Inventory. Griffin's controller accumulated the following information about the units and costs incurred in the two processes for the current period:
