Question

Company manufactures car seats in its plant. Each car seat passes through the assembly department and testing department. This problem focuses on the testing department. Direct materials are added when the testing department process is ​% complete. Conversion costs are added evenly during the testing​ department's process. As work in assembly is​ completed, each unit is immediately transferred to testing. As each unit is completed in​ testing, it is immediately transferred to Finished Goods. Company uses the​ weighted-average method of process costing. Data for the testing department for October are as​ follows:

Physical Units (Car Seats) Direct Materials Conversion Costs
Work-in-process, October 1 *a 5,000 $1,250,000 $402,750
Started during October 20,000
Completed during October 22,500
Work-in-process, October 31 *b 2,500
Total costs added during October $4,500,000 $2,337,500



Required:
What is the percentage of completion for:​

a. Transferred-in costs and direct materials in beginning​ work-in-process inventory.
b. Transferred-in costs and direct materials in ending​ work-in-process inventory

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Beginning Work-In Process inventory

Transferred in Costs = 100%

All the transferred in costs will be accounted for in beginning Work-In Process inventory

Direct Materials = 0%

Conversion costs are not up to 90% so no Direct materials will be added.

b. Ending Work-In Process Inventory

Transferred in Costs = 100%

All the transferred in costs will be accounted for in ending Work-In Process inventory

Direct Materials = 0%

Conversion costs are not up to 90% so no Direct materials will be added.
