Straightforward Weighted Average Process Costing, Step-by-Step Approach

Piscataway Plastic, Company manufactures a highly specialized plastic that is used extensively in the automobile industry. The following data have been compiled for the month of June. Conversion activity occurs uniformly throughout the production process.

Work in process, June 1- 50,000 units:

 

    Direct material: 100% complete cost of

$120,000

    Conversion: 40% complete,cost of

34,400

        Balance in work in process, June 1

$154,400

Units started during June

200,000

Units completed during June and transferred out to finished-goods inventory

190,000

Work in process,June 30:

 

    Direct material: 100% complete
