where work is performed on a product, and materials, labor, and overhead are added
Costs transferred in from Department A to Department B ______.
will always be 100% completed with respect to department a
Recording the transfer of partially completed products from one processing department to another, requires a journal entry that affects the ______ account of both processing departments.
work in process
When using process costing, a separate ______ account is maintained for each processing department.
work in process
the journal entry to apply overhead cost to processing department 1 is to debit
work in process Dept 1 and credit manufacturing overhead
The journal entry to record direct materials costs in processing Department #1 is debit ______.
work in process department 1 and credit Raw Materials
Equivalent units of production under the weighted-average method equal ______.
equivalent units in ending work in process plus units transferred out
The journal entry to record the transfer of partially completed products from processing Department #1 to processing Department #2 is to debit Work in Process Department ______.
#2 and credit work in process department 1
The formula for the cost per equivalent unit using the weighted-average method is ______.
(Cost of beginning work in process inventory + Cost added during the period) ÷ Equivalent units of production
A company's beginning work in process contained 200 units that were 20% complete. Those units were completed and transferred to finished goods. During the period 4,300 units were started. Of the units started, 4,000 were transferred to finished goods. The 300 units in ending work in process were 30% complete. Using the weighted-average method, the equivalent units of production equals ______.
4290 = 4200+300x 30%
Costs in beginning work in process inventory was $4,500 and $37,800 in costs were added during the period. If there are 7,050 equivalent units, the cost per equivalent unit under the weighted-average method is $
