Process Costing Case
Homeglow Furniture Company makes coffee tables for home use. The process involves work in two departments: Assembly, where the tables are constructed, and Staining, where a finish is applied to the wood.
In the Assembly Department, Direct Material is added at the beginning of the process, Conversion Costs are added evenly throughout the process, and Inspection is performed at the end of the process (Normal Spoilage is 5% of good units). In the Staining Department, Direct Material is added at the beginning of the process, Conversion Costs are added evenly throughout the process, no inspection is made in this department. The FIFO method of process costing is used. (Round cost per equivalent unit to 4 decimal places where necessary.)
You are hired by the company at the beginning of October. You are to complete the production cost worksheets for both departments for the months of August and September. You are also asked to make the end-of-the month journal entry (not the recording of DM and CC) for each department for each month and to summarize the activity in each Work-In-Process account over the two month period using T-accounts. (Round to whole dollars in the Assignment of Costs section.) Assume that the regular day-to-day entries for the requisition of DM and the application of CC have been made by an accounting staff member.
