"The Marlene Doll Co. uses a process costing system. Consider the following data for Dept. A. UNITS: W-1-P Nov. 1: 8,000 units, 100% completed for direct material 75% completed for conversion costs Started in November: 10,000 units Transferred to Dept B: 12,000 units W-1-P Nov. 30: 6,000 units, 100% completed for direct material 50% completed for conversion costs COSTS: W-1-P Nov. 1: Direct Materials $9,600 Conversion 4,800 Costs added in November: Direct Material $15,600 Conversion 14,400 a) Use the WEIGHTED AVERAGE method. Prepare a complete process costing schedule for Dept. A for November. Prepare a set of summarized journal entries for all November transactions affecting work-in-process, Dept A including the transfer to Dept B. Overhead was allocated at 400% of direct labor costs. Show all computations. b) Use the FIFO method. Prepare a complete process costing schedule for Dept. A for November. Show all computations."

Transferred to Dept B: 12,000 12,000 12,000

W-1-P Nov. 30: 6,000 6,000 3,000

Equivalent units 18,000 15,000

Cost per equivalent units:

Materials Conversion

Total costs for the month $25,500 $19,200

Equivalent units 18,000 15,000

Cost per equivalent unit $1.42 $1.28

Costs assigned to:

Units Transferred to Dept B: $17,040 $15,360 $32,400

(12,000 *$1.42) (12,000 * $1.28)

W-1-P Nov. 30: 8,520 3,840 12,360

(6,000 *$1.42) (3,000 * $1.28)

Total costs assigned $25,560 $19,200 $44,760

FIFO Method

Equivalent units of production:

Total costs for the month $15,600 14,400

Equivalent units 16,000 15,000

Cost per equivalent unit $0.975 $0.96

Costs assigned this month to:

Work-in-Process $0 $1,920 $1,920

(0 *$0.975) (2,000 * $0.96)

Units completed $9,750 $9,600 $19,350

Total costs assigned $15,600 $14,400 $30,000

Total costs of:

Units transferred out $19,350 $16,320 $35,670

W-1-P Nov. 30: 5,850 2,880 8,730

Total costs $25,200 $19,200 $44,400

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Dept. A. UNITS:

Units Materials Conversion
