Problem 4-16 Cost Flows [LO1]

Nature’s Way, Inc., keeps one of its production facilities busy making a perfume called Essence de la Vache. The perfume goes through two processing departments: Blending and Bottling.

      The following incomplete Work in Process account is provided for the Blending Department for March:

     The $33,500 beginning inventory in the Blending Department consisted of the following elements: materials, $7,000; direct labor, $4,800; and overhead applied, $21,700.

     Costs incurred during March in the Bottling Department were: materials used, $45,000; direct labor, $18,000; and overhead cost applied to production, $111,000.

Prepare journal entries to record the costs incurred in both the Blending Department and Bottling Department during March.

Manufacturing overhead costs for the entire factory were incurred, $616,000. (Credit Accounts Payable and use a single Manufacturing Overhead control account for the entire factory.)

Units that were complete with respect to processing in the Blending Department were transferred to the Bottling Department, $632,000.

Units that were complete with respect to processing in the Bottling Department were transferred to Finished Goods, $790,000.

Post the journal entries from (1) above to T-accounts. The following account balances existed at the beginning of March. (The beginning balance in the Blending Department’s Work in Process account is given above.) (Record the transactions in the given order.)

After posting the entries to the T-accounts, find the ending balances in the inventory accounts and the manufacturing overhead account.
