When using the weighted average method, the unit cost in process costing represents: a) The average cost of the work performed in the current month b) The average cost of work remaining at the end of the previous month and the work performed during the current month c) The average cost of the work performed during the current month less the work performed on the beginning inventory during the month d) The average cost of all the work performed during both the current month and the previous month 22. Calculate equivalent units of conversion for XYZ Company using the Weighted Average method using the following information: Beginning Inventory: 50,000 units, 70% complete Units completed: 100,000 units Units in ending inventory: 25,000 units, 40% complete a) 110,000 b) 150,000 c) 135,000 d) 125,000 23. The Parker Company produces a single product in one process and uses a weighted average process costing system. During the most recent period, the Company started 18,000 units and had 5000 units in opening WIP that were 60% complete. A total of 20,000 units were completed during the period. Ending WIP was twothirds complete. Costs in opening WIP of $25,000, consisted of materials of $10,000 and conversion costs of $15,000. During the current period $31,500 of materials were added along with $70,400 of conversion costs. If materials are added at the beginning of the process, the unit material cost would be (rounded to the closest cent): a) $1.37 b) $1.80 c) $1.58 d) $1.89 24. Use the information from Question 23 except that you should ignore the cost data provided and assume that the material was added at the end of the process not the beginning. If the EU cost of material was $2 and the EU conversion cost was $3 the value of closing WIP would be: a) $11,000 b) $12,000 c) $ 6,000 d) $ 66,000 25. Top That manufactures baseballstyle hats. Material is introduced at the beginning of the process in the Cutting Department. Conversion costs are incurred (and allocated) uniformly throughout the process. As the cutting of material is completed, the pieces are immediately transferred to the Sewing Department. In the Sewing Department, additional direct materials are added to the product at the end of production. Assume that 200,000 units were transferred from the Cutting Department and that the weightedaverage method is used. Data for February follow: Work in process, January 3170,000 units (30% complete as to conversion) Units completed during February240,000 units Work in process, February 28???? (80% complete as to conversion) For the Sewing Department, the equivalent units of work done in February is Transferred In Direct Materials Conversion Costs a) 200,000 200,000 200,000 b) 200,000 170,000 194,000 c) 240,000 240,000 245,000 d) 270,000 240,000 264,000 26. Troy Instruments uses ten units of Part 107 each month in the production of scientific equipment. The cost to make one unit of Part 107 is presented below: Direct Materials $ 4,000 Materials Handling (10% of DM cost) 400 Direct Labour 6,000 Overhead (based on DL cost) 12,000 Total manufacturing costs $22,400 The materials handling represents the direct variable costs of the Receiving Department that are applied to both DM and purchased components on the basis of their cost. This is a separate charge in addition to overhead. Troy's annual overhead cost is budgeted to be variable and fixed. Duncan, one of Troy's reliable vendors, has offered to supply Part 107 at a unit price of $17,000. If Troy purchase the Part from Duncan, the capacity Troy used to make these parts would be idle. If Troy purchases the parts from Duncan, the unit cost of Part 107 would: a) Decrease by $3,700 b) Decrease by $5,600 c) Increase by $3,600 d) Increase by $5,300 27.

The Fast Trax Company manufactures adding machines. The company's capacity is 5,000 units per month; however, it currently sells only 3,000 units per month at $35 each. Company X has a special order to buy 1,000 adding machines at $25 each. Accounting records report each adding machine's full absorption costs are $30 which includes fixed costs of $20. If Fast Trax was to accept Company X's offer, what would be the impact on Fast Trax's operating income (ie., what would be the change in income)? a) Additional profit of $15,000 b) Additional profit of $25,000 c) A loss of $5,000 on this order d) A loss of $10,000 on this order 29.
