4. The Sweet Temptations Company has two processing departments, Cooking and Packaging. Ingredients are placed into
production at the beginning of the process in Cooking, where they are formed into various shapes. When finished, they are
transferred into Packaging, where the candy is placed into heart and tuxedo boxes and covered with foil. All material
added in Packaging is considered as one material for convenience. Since the boxes contain a variety of candies, they are
considered partially complete until filled with the appropriate assortment. The following information relates to the two
departments for February 20X7:

6. The formula for a chemical compound requires one pound of Chemical X and one pound of Chemical Y. In the simplest
sense, one pound of Chemical X is processed in Department A and transferred to Department B for further processing
where one pound of Chemical Y is added when the process is 50 percent complete. When the processing is complete in
Department B, the finished compound is transferred to finished goods. The process is continuous, operating 24 hours a
day.

Normal spoilage occurs in Department A. Five percent of material is lost in the first few seconds of processing. No
spoilage occurs in Department B.

The following data are available for the month of August 20X6:

b. Since the material in the second department goes in at the 50 percent point and the ending WIP
inventory is only at the 20 percent point, units complete is the same as the equivalents of
material 44,500, given that units started plus units in beginning WIP are equal to units
complete plus ending WIP 10,000 + 46,500 - 44,500 = 12,000 units in ending WIP.

7. Quigley Company manufactures a specialized product. Department 2 adds new material to the units received from
Department 1 at the end of process. A normal loss occurs early in processing. Production and cost data for Department 2

8. Copperfield Manufacturing employs a weighted average process costing system for its products. One product passes
through three departments (Molding, Assembly, and Finishing) during production. The following activity took place in
the Finishing Department during April 20x6.

Units in beginning inventory
4,200
Units transferred in from Assembly
42,000
Units spoiled
2,100
Good units transferred out
33,600

The costs per equivalent unit of production for each cost failure area as follows:
Cost of prior departments
$5.00
Raw material
1.00
Conversion
3.00
Total cost per EUP
$9.00

Raw material is added at the beginning of the Finishing process without changing the number of units being processed.
Work in process inventory was 40 percent complete as to conversion on April 30. All spoilage was discovered at final
inspection. Of the total units spoiled, 1,680 were within normal limits.

9. Ashcroft Industries manufactures wood furniture. In the Lamination Department, varnish is added when the goods are 60
percent complete as to overhead. The units that are spoiled during processing are found upon inspection at the end of
production. Spoilage is considered discrete.

11. Lumberton Industries has two departments. Department 1 uses FIFO costing and Department 2 uses weighted average.
Units are introduced into the process in Department 1 (this is the only material added in Department 1). Spoilage occurs
continuously through the department and normal spoilage should not exceed 10 percent of the units started.
Department 2 adds material (packaging) at the 75 percent completion point; this material does not cause an increase in the
number of units being processed. A quality control inspection takes place when the goods are 80 percent complete.
Spoilage should not exceed 5 percent of the units transferred in from Department 1.

13. Delightful Yogurt Company produces yogurt in two departments-Mixing and Finishing. In Mixing, all ingredients except
fruit are added at the start of production. In Finishing, fruit is added and then the mixture is placed into containers. Adding
the fruit to the basic yogurt mixture increases the volume transferred in by the number of gallons of fruit added. Any
spoilage that occurs is in the Finishing Department. Spoilage is detected just before the yogurt is placed into containers or
at the 98 percent completion point. All spoilage is abnormal.
