acuBlade Castings Inc. casts blades for turbine engines. Within the Casting Department, alloy is first melted in a crucible, then poured into molds to produce the castings. On May 1, there were 700 pounds of alloy in process, which were 30% complete as to conversion. The Work in Process balance for these 700 pounds was $74,410, determined as follows: Direct materials (700 x $100) $70,000 Conversion (700 x 30% x $21) 4,410 $74,410 During May, the Casting Department was charged $633,600 for 6,600 pounds of alloy and $53,520 for direct labor. Factory overhead is applied to the department at a rate of 150% of direct labor. The department transferred out 6,800 pounds of finished castings to the Machining Department. The May 31 inventory in process was 20% complete as to conversion. a1. Prepare the May journal entry for the Casting Department for the materials charged to production.

    For complete understanding lets first make EPU (Equivalent Production Unit)

    Direct Material Conversion

    Units completed &transferred out 6,800 6,800

    Closing WIP 500 100 (500*20%)

    Total units 7,300 6,900

    Closing WIP units = Opening WIP + During the year - units completed

    = 700 + 6,600 - 6,800

    =500 units

    On the basis of weighted average method following will be cost per unit:

    Total Direct material cost/unit = (70,000 + 633,600) / 7,300 = 96.3835

    Total conversion cost/unit = (4,410+53,520+80,280 (53,520*150%)) / 6,900=20.0304

    Therefore, following would be the entries

    WIP 767,400

    Material 633,600

    Conversion 133.800 (53,520+80,280)

    Finished goods 791,615 (96.3838+20.0304) * 6,800

    WIP 791,615

    Working for closing unit

    Material (500*96.3835) = 48,191

    Conversion (500*20%*20.0304) = 2003.043
