Assume Music Makers has begun to produce blank CDs for its use and for sale to outside customers, because the CDs are produced in a continuous process and are identical, management at Music Makers uses process costing. The unit of measure for Mucic Makers is a box of CDs. Management has gathered the following information from the molding department for January:
Units (boxes) in beginning inventory = 10,000
Units (boxes) started into production = 40,000
Units (boxes) transferred out = 35,000
Units (boxes) remaining on work-in process inventory = 15,000
Cost of beginning inventory:
Materials = $60,000
Conversion = 80,000
Costs added during the period:
Material = $240,000
Conversion = 320,000
Ending inventory-percentage of completion:
Material = 50%
Conversion = 30%
Use a spreadsheet to prepare a production report for the molding department for the month of January.
Once completed, the spreadsheet can be used to compute costs for later accounting periods. For example, suppose Music makers reported the following during February.
Units in beginning inventory = 15,000
Units started into production = 29,000
Units transferred out = 39,000
Units remaining in work in process inventory = 5,000
Assume all production costs remain unchanged from January. Calculate the unit cost for February. Compare your January and February spreadsheets. What do you observe? Fill in the yellow spaces with formulas.
