1 Bell Computers, Ltd., located in Liverpool, England, assembles a standardized personal computer from parts it purchases from various suppliers. The production process consists of several steps, starting with assembly of the mother circuit board, which contains the central processing unit. This assembly takes place in the CPU Assembly Department. The company recently hired a new accountant who prepared the following report for the department for May using the weighted-average method: 20 points 8 002042 Units to be accounted for: Work in process, May 1: materials 90% complete, conversion 80% complete Started into production 6.100 32.100 Total units 38.200 75% 34,200 Units accounted for as follows: Transferred to next department Work in process, May 31: materials complete, conversion 50% complete Total units 4.000 38,200 Cost Reconciliation Cost to be accounted for Work in process.
