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:

		Molding		Assembly
Beginning inventories:
Physical units		10,000		8,000
Costs:
Transferred in				$45,400
Direct materials		$22,000
Conversion costs		$13,800		$16,700
Current production:
Units started		25,000		?
Units transferred out		30,000		35,000
Costs:
Transferred in				?
Direct materials		$56,250		$39,550
Conversion costs		$103,500		$143,000
Percentage of completion:
Beginning inventory		40%		50%
Ending inventory		80		50

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:
Units, beginning work in process		10000
Units started in February (transferred in)		25000
Total units to account for		35000
Units accounted for:
Units completed and transferred out:
Started and completed	20000
From beginning work in process	10000
Units, ending work in process	5000
Total units accounted for		35000

.

b. An equivalent units calculation

	Total Equivalent Units

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

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.

(c)	Work in Process-Assembly
	Work in Process-Molding

3. Repeat Requirements 1 and 2 for the Assembly Department.

a. A physical flow schedule

3. Read the problem carefully. There are some differences in how the material additions are accounted for.

b. An equivalent units calculation

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.
