Equivalent Units and Related Costs; Cost of Production Report; Entries
Dover Chemical Company manufactures specialty chemicals by a series of three processes, all materials being introduced in the Distilling Department. From the Distilling Department, the materials pass through the Reaction and Filling departments, emerging as finished chemicals.
The balance in the account Work in ProcessFilling was as follows on January 1:
Work in ProcessFilling Department | ||
(3,000 units, 30% completed): | ||
Direct materials (3,000 x $11.30) | $33,900 | |
Conversion (3,000 x 30% x $7.30) | 6,570 | |
$40,470 |
The following costs were charged to Work in ProcessFilling during January:
Direct materials transferred from Reaction | ||
Department: 38,700 units at $11.00 a unit | $425,700 | |
Direct labor | 156,860 | |
Factory overhead | 150,712 |
During January, 38,400 units of specialty chemicals were completed. Work in ProcessFilling Department on January 31 was 3,300 units, 90% completed.
Required:
1. Prepare a cost of production report for the Filling Department for January. If an amount is zero, enter "0". If required, round your cost per equivalent unit answers to two decimal places.

4. The cost of production report may be used as the basis for allocating product costs between and . The report can also be used to control costs by holding each department head responsible for the units entering production and the costs incurred in the department. Any differences in unit product costs from one month to another, such as those in part (3), can be studied carefully and any significant differences investigated.
