A company employs a process costing system for its two-department manufacturing operation
using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory method. When units are completed in Department
1, they are transferred to Department 2 for completion. Inspection takes place in Department
2 immediately before the direct materials are added, when the process is 70% complete with
respect to conversion. The specific identification method is used to account for lost units.
The number of defective units (that is, those failing inspection) is usually below the normal
tolerance limit of 4% of units inspected. Defective units have minimal value, and the company
sells them without any further processing for whatever it can.
Generally, the amount collected equals, or slightly exceeds, the transportation cost. A summary
of the manufacturing activity for Department 2, in units for the current month, is presented
below:
45. The equivalent units for direct materials for the current month would be:
a. 175,000 units
b. 181,500 units
c. 193,000 units
d. P200,000 units
46. The units that failed inspection during the current month would be classified as:
a. abnormal spoilage
b. normal scrap
c. normal rework units
d. normal waste
Raw materials are added at the beginning of processing in the Assembly Department without
changing the number of units being processed. Work-in-process on August 1 was 90% complete
as to conversion while 80% converted on August 31. In the Assembly Department, inspection
takes place when the units are 75% converted. The company usually experienced a 5% loss
based on the completed units,
