Journal Entries

Sr. No Particulars Debit Credit

a. Raw Materials $ 19200

Accounts Payable $19200

Materials of $32* 600 units= $ 19200 are purchased on accounts.

a. Work in Process $ 19200

Raw Materials Inventory $ 19200

Raw Materials of $ 19200 are put to production

b. Conversion Costs Rate = $ 180,000/ 2000= $ 90 per hour

No of hours required for 550 units = 18* 550/3600= 9900/60= 165 hours

Conversion Costs for 550 units = $90 *165= $ 14850

Work In Process Inventory $14850

Raw Materials Inventory $ 14850

As we are unsure of the Manufacturing Overheads all the amounts is debited Raw materials inventory assuming all production hours were direct labor hours.

c. Finished Goods $ 29500

Work In Process $29500

All the completed units 500 are transferred to Finished Goods inventory.

Calculation of Finished Goods Inventory Costs.

Materials = 500 * $32= $ 16000

Conversion Costs = 500 units *18 mins /60= 150 hours *$ 90= $ 13500

Total = $16000+ $13500= $29500
