Case 1: Cost Flows


The following is a job cost sheet for a special product:
Job No. 711 Date Started 5/26
Date Completed 6/15
Raw materials Direct labor
Date Type Cost Qty. Amount Cost/hr. Hours Amount
5/26 130 $30 6 $180 $18 5 $90
6/15 248 10 20 200 15 10 150
$380 15 $240

Total direct materials $380


Total direct labor 240
Overhead (15 direct labor hours @$10/hour) 150
Total job cost $770

Overhead is allocated based on direct labor hours (DLH). The raw materials were in inventory
before being used on job #711. The product is sold on 7/10. Identify the cost flows on each of
these dates: 5/26, 6/15 and 7/10.

Case 2: DeJure Scents

DeJure Scents manufactures an aftershave and uses process costing. All materials are added at
the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly over time. In May,
DeJure started 15,000 gallons. There was no beginning inventory. May’s ending inventory of
work in process was 2,000 gallons, which were 50 per cent complete with respect to conversion
costs.
In May, conversion costs were $28,000 and materials costs were $45,000.

Required:
 Calculate the equivalent units of conversion and materials.
 Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of conversion and materials.
 Calculate the cost of the ending inventory and the cost transferred to finished goods
inventory.

Case 3: Neweway Plastics

Neweway Plastics manufacturers an acrylic compound used in automobile bumpers in a


continuous flow process. Raw material is added at the beginning of the process and conversion
costs are incurred uniformly over the process. The accompanying table summarizes the results of
operations for May:

Beginning work in process (units) 6,000


Raw materials $2,680
Conversion costs (50%) 892 $3,572
Units completed and transferred out 40,000
Units started in May 38,000
Ending work-in-process (units) 4,000 (70%)1
Conversion costs incurred in May $17,512
Material costs incurred in May $19,760

Required:

 Compute the cost of goods transferred out and the ending work-in-process for the month
of May using both the weighted average and FIFO methods.
