Appendix 18A
Paul’s Frozen Pizzas uses FIFO process costing. Selected production and cost data fol- low for April
2016.
Requirements
1. Calculate the following:
a. On March 31, the Mixing Department beginning Work-in-Process Inventory was 30% complete
for materials and 45% complete for conversion costs. This means that for the beginning
inventory ____ % of the materials and ____ % of the conversion costs were added during April.
b. On April 30, the Mixing Department ending Work-in-Process Inventory was 65% complete for
materials and 75% complete for conversion costs. This means that for the ending inventory ____
% of the materials and ____ % of the conversion costs were added during April.
c. On March 31, the Cooking Department beginning Work-in-Process Inventory was 70% complete
for materials and 80% complete for conversion costs. This means that for the beginning
inventory ____ % of the materials and ____ % of the conversion costs were added during April.
d. On April 30, the Cooking Department ending Work-in-Process Inventory was 55% complete for
materials and 80% complete for conversion costs. This means that for the ending inventory ____
% of the materials and ____ % of the conversion costs were added during April.
2. Use the information in the table and the information in Requirement 1 to compute the equivalent
units of production for transferred in costs, direct materials, and conversion costs for both the
Mixing and the Cooking Departments.
SOLUTION
Requirement 1
a.
70%, 55%
Requirement 2
Mixing Department
Total EUP for transferred in = 0 EUP (Mixing Department is the first process, so there is no
transferred in.)
Cooking Department
Beginning WIP units:
10,000 units × 0%
=
0 EUP for transferred in
Completed units:
40,000 units × 100%
=
40,000 EUP for transferred in
In process units:
7,000 units × 100%
=
7,000 EUP for transferred in
Total EUP for direct materials:
=

Abby Electronics makes DVD players in three processes: assembly, programming, and packaging.
Direct materials are added at the beginning of the assembly process. Conversion costs are incurred
evenly throughout the process. The Assembly Department had no Work-in-Process Inventory on
October 31. In mid-November, Abby Electronics started production on 101,000 DVD players. Of this
number, 76,900 DVD players were assembled during November and transferred out to the Programming
Department. The November 30 Work-in-Process Inventory in the Assembly Department was 35% of the
way through the assembly process. Direct materials costing $375,720 were placed in production in
Assembly during November, direct labor of $157,500 was assigned, and manufacturing overhead of
$98,505 was allocated to that department.
