Assignment 3: Spoilage in Weighted Average and FIFO Cost Flow Method
Hanks produces glass jars in a single department; the jars are then sold to
candle manufacturers. All materials are added at the start of the process, and
conversion costs are applied uniformly throughout the production process.
Breakage commonly occurs at the end of the production process when a machine
pushes air into the jars to form their openings. Hanks expects a minimum of 5
percent of the units started into production to be “lost” during processing.
The company uses weighted average method of calculating equivalent units.
Jars
Beginning WIP inventory (60%
complete) 12,000
Started during the month 90,000
Jars completed and transferred 79,200
Ending WIP inventory (75% complete) 15,000
Costs
Beginning WIP inventory

Required:
1. Prepare a cost of production report and the necessary journal entries
assuming the company uses weighted average method.
2. Prepare a cost of production report and the necessary journal entries
assuming the company uses first-in, first-out method.
Problem 2
Ortaleza Company manufactures Strawberry Wine. All direct materials are added
at the beginning of the production process. Goods are inspected at the end of
the process. The following are additional cost and unit data:
Physical Direct
Units Materials Conversion Costs
