    6-Actual Kilograms of material used in the prod. Process in November
    7-Assume the purchase dept. is resp. for the material price variance, what is the actual price paid per kilogram of material during nov.

    All information pertains to operations in nov.
    WIP Inv. 11-1-08 - 16,000 units
    Started in Prod. During Nov. 100,000 - Units.
    WIP Inv. 11-30-08 - 24,000 Units
    The beginning inv. Was 60% compl. As to mat. And 20% compl. As to conversion costs. Ending Inventory was 90% comple. As to mater. And 40% compl. As to conversion costs:
    - Cost pertaining to Nov: Beg. Inv: Direct Material $54,560, Dir. Labor $20,320, Manu OH $15,240
    - Cost incurred during the month: Dir Mat $468,000, Dir. Labor $182,880, Man. OH 391,160.

    1 - What is equivalent Unit Costs for Mat. Using FIFO Process Costing?
    2 - What is the equiv. unit cost for the conversion costs using the FIFO Process Costing
    3 - What are the total costs in the ending WIP Inv. Using FIFO process costing.
    4 - What is the equivalent unit cost for mat. Using weighted-average process costing
    5 - What is the equivalent unit cost for the conversion costs using weighted average process costing.
    6.What are the total costs in the ending WIP Inv. Using weighted average process costing

    The standard costs for the prime cost of its single product is as follows:
    Materials: 8Kilograms @$5 per kilogram = $40
    Labor: 6 hours @ $8.20 per hour = $49.20

    The following oper. Data was taken from the records for nov.:
    Units completed 5,600 units; budgeted output 6,000 units; purchases of Materials $300,760; total labor costs$300,760; actual hours of labor 36,500 hours; Material efficiency variance $2,500 Unfavorable; Total material variance $750 (unfavorable)

    1. What is the Direct labor price variance for Nov. = 1,460
    2. Is the direct labor price variance favorable or unfavorable? = (U)
    3. What is the direct labor efficiency variance for Nov. = $23,780
    4. Is the direct labor efficiency favorable or unfavorable? = (U)
    5. What is the actual kilogram of material used in the production process during Nov. = 45,100kg
    6. Assume the purchasing dept. is responsible for the material price variance, what is the actual price per kilogram of material during Nov. = $5.015
    7. What is the total amount or direct materials and direct labor costs transferred to the finished goods account for Nov. = $550,010

    Actual machine hours - 840; standard machine hours allowed 900
    Denominator aactivity (machine Hours) 1000; Actual fixed O-H costs $3,800; Budgeted fixed OH Costs $4,000; Predetermined Overhead rate (1 variable + 4 fixed) $5.

    What is the fixed overhead spending (budget) variance. = $200
    Is the fixed O-H spending (Budget) variance favorable or Unfovorable. = (F)
    What is the production volume variance? = $400
    Is the production volume variance favorable or unfavorable? = (F)

    Two jobs were worked on during 2006: job A-101 and Jop A-102. The number of the direct labor hours spent on Job A101 and Job A 102 were 1,200 and 1,00, respectiely. The actual manufacturing OH was $37,000

    Estimated manufacgturing OH for 2006 $40,000
    Estimated direct labor hours for 2006 $2,000

    1. What is the predetermined manfuacturing overhead rate per direct labor hour for the year? = $25.

    2. What was the amount of manufacturing OH applied to job A101? = $24,000

    3. What is the amount of the under or over-applied manufacturing OH? = $4,000 under-applied

    Uing predetermined manufacturing OH rates based on direct labor hours to apply its indirect product costs to jobs? Using the following information collected for the previous:
    Direct Materials $150,000; Direct Labor 200,000; sales commissions 100,000; Indirect Labor 50,000; rent on office equipment 25,000; depreciation - factory building 75,000; Utilities (factory) 125,000.

    1. Use 25,000 direct labor hours and 50,000 machine hours during the previous. What is the predetermined overhead rate per direct labor hour? = $14.00

    The following costs have been estimated based on sales of 30,000 units. Using the information below:
    Total Amount Costs % that is variable
    Direct Materials $300,000 100%
    Direct Labor 250,000 100%
    Manufacturing OH 250,000 50%
    Selling & Administrative 150,000 25%

    What selling price will yield a contribution margin of 40%? = $33.25

    150,000 units @ $5 = 750,000
    225,000 + x +125,000 =750,000
    x = 750,000 - 350,000 = 400,000
    400,000/150,000 = $2.33.

    Please see the guidelines for posting homework problems:

    https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/financ...es-468524.html

    And for this one, you really are going to have to show attempt at working the problem or ask some specific questions, because process costing problems are long and nearly impossible to just try to explain in a post.

    While I fully agree with Morgaine300, I have prepared a skeleton table for you. All you have to do is put in the figures. I am sure your text book must have some information for calculating EPU.
