Question

Major League Bat Company manufactures baseball bats. In addition to its work in process inventories, the company maintains inventories of raw materials and finished goods. It uses raw materials as direct materials in production and as indirect materials. Its factory payroll costs include direct labor for production and indirect labor. All materials are added at the beginning of the process, and conversion costs are applied uniformly throughout the production process. Required: You are to maintain records and produce measures of inventories to reflect the July events of this company. The June 30 balances: Raw Materials Inventory, $22,000; Work in Process Inventory, $9,690 ($2,810 of direct materials and $6,880 of conversion); Finished Goods Inventory, $140,000; Sales, $0; Cost of Goods Sold, $0; Factory Payroll Payable, $0; and Factory Overhead, $0. 1. Prepare journal entries to record the following July transactions and events. Purchased raw materials for $130,000 cash (the company uses a perpetual inventory system). Used raw materials as follows: direct materials, $52,540; and indirect materials, $11,500. Recorded factory payroll payable costs as follows: direct labor, $206,000; and indirect labor, $26,500. Paid factory payroll cost of $232,500 with cash (ignore taxes). Incurred additional factory overhead costs of $83,000 paid in cash. Allocated factory overhead to production at 50% of direct labor costs. 2. Information about the July inventories follows. Use this information with that from part 1 to prepare a process cost summary, assuming the weighted-average method is used. (Round "Cost per EUP" to 2 decimal places.) Units Beginning inventory 6,500 units Started 14,000 units Ending inventory 8,000 units Beginning inventory Materials—Percent complete 100 % Conversion—Percent complete 80 % Ending inventory Materials—Percent complete 100 % Conversion—Percent complete 30 % 3.

Using the results from part 2 and the available information, make computations and prepare journal entries to record the following: Total costs transferred to finished goods for July. Sale of finished goods costing $273,200 for $640,000 in cash.Using the results from part 2 and the available information, make computations and prepare journal entries to record the following: Total costs transferred to finished goods for July.
