Cost of Production and Journal Entries
AccuBlade Castings Inc. casts blades for turbine engines. Within the Casting Department, alloy is first melted in a crucible, then poured into molds to produce the castings. On May 1, there were 1,000 pounds of alloy in process, which were 40% complete as to conversion. The Work in Process balance for these 1,000 pounds was $146,400, determined as follows:
Direct materials (1,000 x $140) | $140,000 |
Conversion (1,000 x 40% x $16) | 6,400 |
$146,400 |
During May, the Casting Department was charged $1,278,400 for 9,400 pounds of alloy and $56,640 for direct labor. Factory overhead is applied to the department at a rate of 150% of direct labor. The department transferred out 9,700 pounds of finished castings to the Machining Department. The May 31 inventory in process was 20% complete as to conversion.
