Question

LO 12-3, 12-4 excel I Problem 12-18A Process costing system Wright Cola Corporation produces a new soft drink brand, Sweet Spring, using two production departments: mixing and bottling. Wright's beginning balances and data pertinent to the mixing department's activities for 2018 follow: CHECK FIGURE b. $0.14 Accounts Cash Raw materials inventory Production supplies Work in process inventory (400,000 units) Common stock = 1 Beginning Balances $ 50,000 14,800 100 48,000 $112,900 1. Wright Cola issued additional common stock for $80,000 cash. 2. The company purchased raw materials and production supplies for $29,600 and $800, respec- tively, in cash.

Explanation / Answer

a. Work in process ,at beginning = 400000 units

Add: Units transferred in = 800000

Total units to account for = 1200000

Units transferred out = 600000

Work in process ,at end = 600000

Total units accounted for = 1200000

Equivalent number of productions:

Units Percentage completed Equivalent units

   Units transferred out   600000 100% 600000

Work in process ,at end     600000 25%     150000   

                 750000 units

b.   Work in process ,at beginning = $48000

Cost incurred during the year

Direct material = 32360

Direct labor (2200 * $9.6) =21120

Applied overhead[$1.6 * 2200] = 3520

Total cost to account for = $105000

     

Product cost per equivalent units = $105000 / 750000 units

   = $0.14

(c) Units transferred to bottle department [$0.14 * 600000 units ] = $84000

Ending work in process [$0.14 * 150000 units ] = $21000

Total cost = $105000
