Question : 9) The last step in a process-costing system to compute : 1217026

9) The last step in a process-costing system is to compute cost per equivalent unit.

10) The equivalent unit concept is a means by which a process costing system can compare partially completed work done in each of the various process categories to obtain a total measure of work done.

11) Equivalent units are calculated separately for each input.

12) In a process-costing system, there is always a separate Work-in-Process account for each different process.

13) A production cost worksheet is used to summarize total costs to account for, compute cost per equivalent unit, and assign total costs to units completed and to units in ending work-in-process.

14) Process-costing journal entries and job-costing journal entries are similar with respect to direct materials and conversion costs.

15) The accounting entry to record the transfer of rolls from the assembly department to the finishing department is:

Work in Process-Assembly Department

Work in Process-Finishing Department

16) The Zygon Corporation was recently formed to produce a semiconductor chip that forms an essential part of the personal computer manufactured by a major corporation. The direct materials are added at the start of the production process while conversion costs are added uniformly throughout the production process. June is Zygon’s first month of operations, and therefore, there was no beginning inventory. Direct materials cost for the month totaled $895,000, while conversion costs equaled $4,225,000. Accounting records indicate that 475,000 chips were started in June and 425,000 chips were completed.

Ending inventory was 50% complete as to conversion costs.

Required:

a.What is the total manufacturing cost per chip for June?

b.Allocate the total costs between the completed chips and the chips in ending inventory.

17) The Parson Valve Corporation was recently formed to produce a brass valve that forms an essential part of a compressor manufactured by a major corporation. The direct materials are added at the start of the production process while conversion costs are added uniformly throughout the production process. September is Parson’s first month of operations, and therefore, there was no beginning inventory. Direct materials cost for the month totaled $1,400,000, while conversion costs equaled $1,800,000. Accounting records indicate that 800,000 valves were started in September and 700,000 valves were completed.

Ending inventory was 20% complete as to conversion costs.

Required:

a.What is the total manufacturing cost per valve for September?

b.Allocate the total costs between the completed valves and the valves in ending inventory.

18) Cedar Rapids Chemical placed 220,000 liters of direct materials into the mixing process. At the end of the month, 10,000 liters were still in process, 30% converted as to labor and factory overhead. All direct materials are placed in mixing at the beginning of the process and conversion costs occur evenly during the process. Cedar Rapids Chemical uses weighted-average costing.

Required:

a.Determine the equivalent units in process for direct materials and conversion costs, assuming there was no beginning inventory.

b.Determine the equivalent units in process for direct materials and conversion costs, assuming that 12,000 liters of chemicals were 40% complete prior to the addition of the 220,000 liters.
