There are a few parts to this report. First there's the units charged to production: Inventory in process at the beginning of the period +________Received from materials_____________Total units accounted for by the department Keep in mind this is a mathematical check, the total accounted for should match the total units to be assigned cost in the last part of the problem. the SECOND part is the units to be assigned cost:
|
whole units |
direct materials |
conversion |
BEGINNING inventory (% completed) |
inventory at beginning of period
|
GIVEN in the problem
|
whole units times (100%-% completed) |
Started and COMPLETED during the month |
TRANSFERRED - BEGINNING
