Weighted Average Method, Physical Flow, Equivalent Units, Unit Costs, Cost Assignment, ABC Swasey Fabrication, Inc., manufactures frames for bicycles. Each frame passes through three processes: Cutting, Welding, and Painting. In September, the Cutting Department of the Tulsa, Oklahoma, plant reported the following data: a. In Cutting, all direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. b. Beginning work in process consisted of 41,500 units, 20 percent complete with respect to direct labor and overhead. Costs in beginning inventory included direct materials, $1,225,000; direct labor, $222,500; and applied overhead, $150,000. c. Costs added to production during the month were direct materials, $2,414,600; direct labor, $3,457,500. Overhead was assigned using the following information: Activity Rate Actual Driver Usage Inspection $150 per inspection hour 4,000 inspection hours Maintenance $750 per maintenance hour 1,600 maintenance hours Receiving $300 per receiving order 2,000 receiving orders d. At the end of the month, 121,200 units were transferred out to Welding, leaving 13,600 units in ending work in process, or 25 percent complete. 1. Prepare a physical flow schedule. Swasey Fabrication, Inc. Physical Flow Schedule Units to account for: Units, beginning work in process 41,500 Units started (transferred in) 93,500 x Total units to account for 135,000 X Units accounted for: Units completed and transferred out 121,600 X Units, ending work in process 13,400 X Total units accounted for 135,000 X 2. Calculate equivalent units of production for direct materials and conversion costs. Equivalent Units Direct Materials 135,000 X Conversion Costs 124,875 X 3. Compute unit cost under weighted average. Unit direct materials cost 28 Unit conversion costs 50 Total unit cost $ 78 4. Calculate the cost of goods transferred to Welding at the end of the month. Calculate the cost of ending inventory. Cost of goods transferred out 9,477,000 x Ending WIP 546,750 x 5. Prepare the journal entry that transfers the goods from Cutting to Welding, Work in Process-Welding 9,477,000 X Work in Process-Cutting 9,477,000 X
