Questions: 1. Under what conditions would it be appropriate to use a process costing system? 2. Why is cost accumulation simpler in a process costing system than it is in a job-order costing system? 3. What is meant by the term "equivalent units for production" when the weighted average method is used? Problem: Clopack Company manufactures one product that goes through one processing department called Mixing. All raw materials are introduced at the start of work in the Mixing Department. The company uses the weighted average method of process costing. Its Work in Process T-account for the Mixing Department for June follows (all forthcoming questions pertain to June): Work in Process-Mixing Department 28,00 Completed and transferred to Finished Goods 0 June 1 balance ? Materials 120,0 00 Direct labor 79,50 0 Overhead 97.00 0 June 30 balance ? The June 1 work in process inventory consisted of 5,000 units with $16,000 in materials cost and $12,000 in conversion cost. The June 1 work in process inventory was 100% complete with respect to materials and 50% complete with respect to conversion. During June, 37,500 units were started into production. The June 30 work in process inventory consisted of 8,000 units that were 100% complete with respect to materials and 40% complete with respect to conversion Required: 1. Prepare the journal entries to record the raw materials used in production and the direct labor cost incurred 2. Prepare the journal entry to record the overhead cost applied to production 3. How many units were completed and transferred to finished goods during the period? 4. Compute the equivalent units of production for materials. 5. Compute the equivalent units of production for conversion. 6. What is the cost of beginning work in process inventory plus the cost added during the period for materials? 7. What is the cost of beginning work in process inventory plus the cost added during the period for conversion? 8. What is the cost per equivalent unit for materials? 9. What is the cost per equivalent unit for conversion? 10. What is the cost of ending work in process inventory for materials? 11. What is the cost of ending work in process inventory for conversion? 12. What is the cost of materials transferred to finished goods? 13. What is the amount of conversion cost transferred to finished goods? 14. Prepare the journal entry to record the transfer of costs from Work in Process to Finished Goods. 15-a. What is the total cost to be accounted for? 15-b. What is the total cost accounted for
