FIFO Method, Two-Department Analysis Muskoge Company uses a process-costing system. The company manufactures a product that is processed in two departments: Molding and Assembly. In the Molding Department, direct materials are added at the beginning of the process; in the Assembly Department, additional direct materials are added at the end of the process. In both departments, conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. As work is completed, it is transferred out. The following table summarizes the production activity and costs for February: Required: 1. Using the FIFO method, prepare the following for the Molding Department: a. A physical flow schedule Muskoge Company Molding Department Physical Flow Schedule Units to account for: Total units to account for Units accounted for: Units completed and transferred out: Total units accounted for b. An equivalent units calculation Total Equivalent Units Direct Materials Conversion Costs c. Calculation of unit costs. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ per unit d. Cost of ending work in process and cost of goods transferred out. Cost of ending work in process: Cost of goods transferred out: $ e. A cost reconciliation. Costs to account for: Beginning work in process Costs incurred Total costs to account for Costs accounted for: Transferred out Ending work in process Total costs accounted for 2. Prepare journal entries that show the flow of manufacturing costs for the Molding Department. (a) Materials are added at the beginning of the process, (b) conversion costs are recorded, and (c) units are transferred to the Assembly Department. (a) II (b) (c) o 3. Repeat Requirements 1 and 2 for the Assembly Department. a.

An equivalent units calculation Total Equivalent Units Direct Materials Conversion Costs Transferred In c. Calculation of unit costs. If required, round your intermediate computations and final answer to four decimal places and use the rounded answer in subsequent computations. per unit d. Compute the following. For interim computations, carry amounts out to four decimal places. Round your final answers to the nearest dollar. Cost of ending work in process: Cost of goods transferred out: $ e. A cost reconciliation. When necessary, round equivalent cost per unit to four decimal places, and round all other amounts to the nearest dollar. Costs to account for: Beginning work in process Costs incurred Total costs to account for $ Costs accounted for: Transferred out Ending work in process Total costs accounted for Note: Cost reconciliation totals differ by $1 due to rounding error. Prepare journal entries that show the flow of manufacturing costs for the Assembly Department. (a) Materials are added at the end of the process, (b) conversion costs are recorded, and (c) the units are transferred to Finished Goods. (a) o (b) (c)
