Hamilton Company uses job order costing. Factory overhead is applied to
production at a predetermined rate of 150% of direct-labor cost. Any over-or
under-applied factory overhead is closed to the cost of goods sold account at the
end of each month. Additional information is available as follows:
Job 101 was the only job in process at January 31, 2002, with accumulated costs as follows:
P9,000.
Ø Jobs 102, 103, and 104, were started during February.
Ø Direct materials requisitions for February totaled P26,000.
Ø Direct-labor cost of P20,000 was incurred for February.
Ø Actual factory overhead was P32,000 for February.
The only job still in process at February 28, 2002, was Job 104, with costs of P2,800 for direct materials
and P1,800 for direct labor.

The Carlo Company budgeted Department A's overhead at P255,000 for the period based on a
budgeted volume of 100,000 direct labor hours. At the end of the period the factory overhead control
for Department A had a balance of P270,000; actual direct labor hours were 105,000. What was the
over-or under -applied overhead for the period?
Underapplied overhead P

General Feedback
The over- or (under) -applied overhead was P(2,250), computed as follows:
Over- or underapplied overhead is determined by comparing actual overhead incurred
with overhead applied based upon the predetermined overhead rate. The predetermined overhead rate
is P2.55/hour (budgeted overhead of P255,000/budgeted volume of 100,000direct labor hours).

If the FIFO method were being used, how would the table of data on the preceding

General Feedback
Work that was completed last period in the beginning work-in-process would be deleted from the

deleted from the cost data
In comparison with the weighted average, the FIFO method only considers work done and costs
incurred this period. The weighted average method averages the costs incurred last period that
remain in beginning work in process with the costs incurred this period. Accordingly, the table of
data computing equivalent unit of production under the weighted average method would be modified
by eliminating equivalent unit of production completed last period and also last period's costs in

Under Colours' cost accounting system, costs of normal spoilage are treated as a part of
the costs of the good units produced. The costs of abnormal spoilage are charged to factory overhead,
however. Using the weighted average method, what are the equivalent units of production (EUP) for
the materials unit cost calculation for the month of April?
General Feedback
The company uses the weighted average method of process costing. Hence,
previous and current work are commingled. Materials are added at the beginning of
the process. Normal spoilage is absorbed by the good units produced, and
abnormal spoilage is charged to factory overhead. Consequently, EUP are
calculated for the abnormal spoilage but not for normal spoilage.

In this department additional material is added to the work received from the
preceding department. Three distinctly different types of materials are used at
three separate stages of production in this department:
> Material A is added at the start of the process.
>Material B is added when the process is one-fourth
completed.
>Material C is added when the process is three-fourth
completed.
Labor and factory overhead are incurred at a uniform rate throughout the
manufacturing process in this department. Examination of the unfinished work
discloses that:

What is the cost per equivalent unit of production for labor using the weighted
average method?
General Feedback
The cost per equivalent unit of production for labor under the weighted average
method is equal to the labor cost in beginning work-in-process plus the current
cost, all divided by the EUP. EUP for labor is 1,050,000. Total labor cost is
P315,000 plus P1,995,000, or a total of P2,310,000. The unit cost of labor is thus

department where units of raw material are molded into various connecting parts.

The weighted average method combines previous and current period work, while
the FIFO method only includes the EUP for work done in the current period.
Therefore, the difference between the two methods is that weighted average
EUP will be greater than FIFO EUP by the EUP in beginning WIP.

The weighted average equivalent unit of production for labor was determined to
be 1,050,000 EUP. The difference between weighted average and FIFO is that
FIFO does not include the equivalent unit of production or costs in beginning
work-in-process. There were 200,000 units as of January 1 that were 80%
complete. Hence, 160,000 EUP were in beginning inventory and must be
subtracted from the weighted average EUP of 1,050,000 to obtain the FIFO for

Corporation, a manufacturer of digital watches. You are attempting to verify the
costing of the ending work-in-process and finished goods which were recorded on
Spirit's books as follows:

The cost per books of finished goods is given as P1,009,800. Evidently, some
cost allocations during 2001 were improperly estimated.

Assume that process conversion costs are uniform but a number of materials are
added at different points in the process. Material 1 is added at the beginning of the
process. The transferred-in costs are added at the 20% point in the process.
Material 2 is added uniformly from the 50% to the 70% points in the process.
Material 3 is added at the 75% point in the process, and material 4 is added
uniformly at the 90% to the 100% points in the process.
The beginning work-in-process was 10,000 units 60% complete, 60,000 units were
added, and ending work-in-process was 20,000 units 95% complete.

The Wiring Department is the second stage of Dansen Company's production cycle. On May 1, the
beginning work in process contained 25,000 units which were 60% complete as to conversion
costs. During May, 100,000 units were transferred in from the first stage of Dansen's
production cycle. On May 31, ending work-in-process contained 20,000 units which were 80%
complete as to conversion costs. Materials are added at the end of the process. Using the
weighted average method, the equivalent units of production on May 31 were:

Materials are added at the end of the process, and conversion costs are assumed
to be incurred uniformly. Transferred-in costs are always 100% complete. Units
completed equals beginning WIP plus units transferred-in less ending WIP.

The total material costs charged to Department A for all units in process during
