A company's process costing production report for a particular department reveals a beginning inventory of 3,000 units and new units started during the period totaling 82,000. The report shows that by the end of the period, 80,000 units had been transferred to the next department. How many units does the process costing production report show remaining in inventory at the end of the period?

5,000 units Reason: 3,000 + 82,000 - 80,000 = 5,000 units

A company's process costing production report for a particular department reveals 4,000 units of beginning inventory that were 30% complete with respect to conversion costs. The report also shows 60,000 units that were started and completed during the period, as well as 8,000 units in ending inventory that are 40% complete with respect to conversion costs. How many equivalent units of conversion resources does the report show were used during the period?

66,000 equivalent units *** Reason: (4,000 × 70%) + 60,000 + (8,000 × 40%) = 66,000 equivalent units

A company's process costing production report for a particular department reveals a beginning inventory of 3,000 units and new units started during the period totaling 82,000. The report shows that by the end of the period, 80,000 units had been transferred to the next department. How many units does the process costing production report show as being started and completed during the current period?

77,000 units *** Reason: 80,000 units transferred less the 3,000 units in beginning inventory = 77,000 units

True or false: When direct labor and direct materials costs are incurred uniformly at the same rate in a process costing system, they often are combined and referred to as conversion costs.

False *** Reason: Direct labor and overhead costs are often combined and referred to as conversion costs.

Which of the following statements is/are true regarding the recording of costs in a process costing system?

Journal entries to record direct materials used are recorded throughout the period. Journal entries to apply manufacturing overhead to production are usually recorded at the end of the period.

Thompson Manufacturing uses a process costing system with multiple production departments. At the start of the current period, $80,000 in costs had been carried forward and assigned to partially completed inventory in Department A. Resources totaling $72,000 were consumed in the current period to complete those units. An additional 17,000 units were started and completed during the current period at a cost of $18 per equivalent unit. The summary journal entry required to transfer completed units from Department A to Department B in the current period includes a

$458,000 credit to Work in Process: Department A. *** Reason: $80,000 + $72,000 + (17,000 units × $18) = $458,000 $458,000 debit to Work in Process: Department B. *** Reason: $80,000 + $72,000 + (17,000 units × $18) = $458,000

A company's process costing production report for a particular department reveals 4,000 units of beginning inventory that were 30% complete with respect to conversion costs. The report also shows 90,000 units that were started and completed during the period, as well as 8,000 units in ending inventory that are 40% complete with respect to conversion costs. If conversion costs for the period totaled $480,000, the process costing production report will reveal conversion costs of

$5.00 per equivalent unit *** Reason: $480,000/((4,000 × 70%) + 90,000 + (8,000 × 40%)) = $5 per equivalent unit

Montgomery Corporation uses a process costing system with multiple production departments. At the start of the current period, $100,000 in costs had been carried forward and assigned to partially completed inventory in Department A. Resources totaling $90,000 were consumed in the current period to complete those units. An additional 25,000 units were started and completed during the current period at a cost of $30 per equivalent unit. The summary journal entry required to transfer completed units from Department A to Department B in the current period includes a

$940,000 credit to Work in Process: Department A. *** Reason: $100,000 + $90,000 + (25,000 units × $30) = $940,000 $940,000 debit to Work in Process: Department B. *** Reason: $100,000 + $90,000 + (25,000 units × $30) = $940,000

In a process costing system, manufacturing costs flow in which of the following sequences?

(1) through multiple Work in Process Inventories; (2) to Finished Goods Inventory; and (3) to Cost of Goods Sold

Salter Enterprises uses a process costing system with multiple production departments. Its beginning inventory in Department A was carried forward at a total cost of $180,000, and it comprised 5,000 equivalent units of direct materials (carried forward at $80,000) and 4,000 equivalent units of conversion (carried forward at $100,000). During the current period, the company used 60,000 equivalent units of direct materials costing $960,000 and 50,000 equivalent units of conversion costing $1.25 million. In evaluating the efficiency in Department A, management may conclude the following about the cost per equivalent unit of resource inputs: 1. The direct materials cost per equivalent unit in the prior period was _____. 2. The direct materials cost per equivalent unit in the current period was ____. 3. The conversion cost per equivalent unit in the prior period was ____. 4. The conversion cost per equivalent unit in the current period was ____.

Hammes Corporation uses a process costing system with multiple production departments. Its beginning inventory in Department A was carried forward at a total cost of $115,000, and it comprised 3,000 equivalent units of direct materials (carried forward at $75,000) and 2,000 equivalent units of conversion (carried forward at $40,000). During the current period, the company used 90,000 equivalent units of direct materials costing $2.16 million, and 70,000 equivalent units of conversion costing $1.54 million. In evaluating the efficiency in Department A, management may conclude the following about the cost per equivalent unit of resource inputs: 1. The direct materials cost per equivalent unit in the prior period was ____. 2. The direct materials cost per equivalent unit in the current period was ____. 3. The conversion cost per equivalent unit in the prior period was ____. 4. The conversion cost per equivalent unit in the current period was ____.

Wescott Manufacturing uses a process costing system with multiple production departments. Its beginning inventory in Department A was carried forward at a total cost of $54,000, and it comprised 4,000 equivalent units of direct materials (carried forward at $24,000) and 3,000 equivalent units of conversion (carried forward at $30,000). During the current period, the company used 60,000 equivalent units of direct materials costing $375,000 and 40,000 equivalent units of conversion costing $392,000. In evaluating the current period's efficiency in Department A, management may conclude that

the cost per equivalent unit of conversion used in the current period was lower than it was in the prior period. *** Reason: Prior period cost per equivalent unit = $30,000/3,000 = $10 per equivalent unit Current period cost per equivalent unit = $392,000/40,000 = $9.80 per equivalent unit the cost per equivalent unit of direct materials used in the current period was higher than it was in the prior period. *** Reason: Prior period cost per equivalent unit = $24,000/4,000 = $6 per equivalent unit Current period cost per equivalent unit = $375,000/60,000 = $6.25 per equivalent unit

Process costing environments are often characterized by

the mass production of identical products. production involving a series of identifiable steps. the allocation of costs to specific processes as opposed to unique jobs.
