Company manufactures car seats in its plant

Subject:AccountingPrice:3.87 Bought7

Company manufactures car seats in its plant. Each car seat passes through the assembly department and the testing department. This problem focuses on the assembly department. The?process-costing system at

Hoffman

Company has a single? direct-cost category? (direct materials) and a single? indirect-cost category? (conversion costs). Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are added evenly during the process. When the assembly department finishes work on each car? seat, it is immediately transferred to testing. Hoffman Company uses the FIFO method of process costing.

Answer:

Production cost report(FIFO)
For the Month of
       
a) Input/Output reconciliation      
Units be accounted for Physical units    
Units in beginning WIP Inventory                      4,000    
Units started/transferred in during the period                    22,500    
Total units be accounted for                   26,500    
       
Transferred out from Beginning Inventory                      4,000    
Units started and completed during the period                   22,000    
Normal loss                            -      
Abnormal loss                            -      
Units in ending WIP Inventory                         500    
Total units accounted for                   26,500    
       
b) Cost of input      
Particulars Material Conversion Cost Total
Cost in beginning WIP Inventory $    12,48,000.00 $         2,41,650.00 $     14,89,650.00
Cost incurred during the period $    46,35,000.00 $       25,75,125.00 $     72,10,125.00
Total $    58,83,000.00 $       28,16,775.00 $    86,99,775.00
 
c) Equivalent units of Production- FIFO      
  Material Conversion Cost  
Units in beginning WIP (A) 4000 4000  
% of completion of beginning WIP in previous period (B) 100% 45%  
% of beginning WIP completed this period [C=100%-B] 0% 55%  
Equivalent units in beginning WIP [D=A×C]                            -                           2,200  
Units both started and completed in current period (E)                   22,000 22000  
Units of ending WIP (F)                         500 500  
Percentage of completion of ending WIP (G) 100% 65%  
Equivalent units in ending WIP (H=F×G)                         500                         325.0  
Units of Abnormal loss (I)                            -   0  
Percentage of completion of Abnormal loss (J) 100% 100%  
Equivalent units Abnormal loss (K=I×J)                            -                                 -    
Total equivalent units (D+E+H+K)                   22,500                      24,525  
       
d) Cost per Equivalent Unit of Production-FIFO      
  Material Conversion Cost Total
Cost be accounted for (a) $    46,35,000.00 $       25,75,125.00 $     72,10,125.00
Total Equivalent unit be accounted for (b)                    22,500                   24,525.0  
Cost per Equivalent Unit (a/b) $               206.00 $                  105.00 $                311.00
       
e)Assignment of Cost to the Units transferred out , Units in ending WIP and Abnormal loss-FIFO  
  Material Conversion Cost Total
Cost in beginning WIP Inventory (A) $          12,48,000 $               2,41,650 $           14,89,650
Transferred in cost for opening WIP (B)= {Cost per Equivalent unit* Equivalent unit} $                        -   $               2,31,000 $             2,31,000
Beginning Inventory ©=A+B $         12,48,000 $               4,72,650 $          17,20,650
Cost assigned to the units transferred out (D)= {Cost per Equivalent unit* Equivalent unit} $         45,32,000 $            23,10,000 $          68,42,000
Cost assigned the to ending WIP Inventory (E)= {Cost per Equivalent unit* Equivalent unit} $            1,03,000 $                  34,125 $            1,37,125
Cost assigned to the Abnormal loss unit (F)= {Cost per Equivalent unit* Equivalent unit} $                        -   $                           -   $                         -  
Total Cost accounted for     $          86,99,775
       
Summery of Cost be accounted for and Accounted for as-FIFO
