Q1. October 1, 2017, Alpha Company started a new production operation using the weighted average method of process costing. During October, 9,000 units were started and 7,000 were transferred to finished goods. The October 31, work in process inventory was 100% done as to material costs and 40% complete as to conversion costs. Material costs for the month of October were $27,000 and conversion costs were $46,800. Use this information to determine:

1. The total costs transferred to finished goods inventory for October 2017.

2. The cost that should be assigned to Alpha' work in process inventory at the end of October 2017.

Q2. Alpha Company uses a process cost system. During 2017, Alpha had no beginning work in process inventory. During 2017, Alpha started 700 units. Alpha had 200 units in work in process at the end of 2017. These units were 50% done with respect to materials. Use this information to determine the equivalent units for direct materials.

Q3. Alpha Company had the following information for FY 2017:

Work in Process - 1/1/17 100,000 units

Units Started into Production 575,000 units

Work in Process - 12/31/17 75,000 units

Direct Material put into Production $575,000

Conversions Costs put into Production $843,750

The beginning work in process was 100% complete as to direct materials and 75% done as to conversion costs.

The ending work in process was 100% completed as to direct materials and 50% done as to conversion costs.

The beginning work in process consisted of:

Direct Material $100,000

Conversion Costs $112,500

Alpha Company uses the weighted-average method. Use this information to determine for FY 2017.

1. The equivalent units of production for direct materials.

2. The cost per equivalent unit for materials.

3. The equivalent units of production for conversion.

4. The cost per equivalent unit for conversion.

5. The cost that should be assigned to Alpha' work in process inventory at the end of FY 2017.
