The inventory at May 1 and the costs charged to Work in Process_ Department B during May for Star Company are as follows:
12,000 units, 2/5 completed... 62,400
From Department A, 55,000 units... 115,500
Direct Labor... 364,915
Factory overhead... 148,000

During May, all direct materials are transferred from Department A, the units in process at May 1 were completed, and of the 55,000 units entering the department all were completed except 6,000 units which were 3/4 completed. Inventories are costed by the FIFO method.

1.) Prepare a cost of production report for May.
... Whole Units... Direct Materials... Conversion
Units charged to production:
Inventory in process May 1... 12,000
Received from Department A... 55,000
Total units accounted for by Dept. B... 67,000
Units to be assigned Cost:
Inventory in process May 1 2/5 completed 12,000... 0... 7,200
Started and completed in May... 49,000... 49,000... 49,000
Tranferred to packing dept in may... 61,000... 49,000... 56,200
Inventory in process may 31, 3/4 comp... 6,000... 6,000... 4,500
Total units to be assigned cost... 67,000... 55,000... 60,700
Computations:
1.) 60% X 12,000 = 7,200
2.) 55,000 - 6,000 = 49,000
3.) 3/4 X 6,000 = 4,500
Unit Costs:
Total costs for May in Dept B... 115,500... 512,915
Total equivalent units / 55,000... / 60,700
Cost of equivalent unit... 2.1... 8.45
Cost charged to production inventory in process may... 7,200
cost incurred in may... 628,415
Total cost accounted for Dept. B... 635,615

cost allocated to completed and partially completed units:
Inventory in process May 1 Balance... 7,200
To complete inventory in process May 1... 0... 60,840... 60,840

Inventory in process May 31... 12,600... 38,025... 50,625
Total cost assigned by Dept B... 635,615
Computations:
1.) 115,500 + 364,915 + 148,000 =628,415
2.) 7,200 units X 8.45 = 60,840
3.) 49,000 units X 2.1 =102,900
4.) 49,000 units X 8.45 =414,050
5.) 6,000 units X 2.1 = 12,600

By the time it took you to type this all out and REALLY read it while you were doing it, you could have answered your own question. I cant, sorry.

:o I'm working on a Cost of Production Report too but mine's totally different. I'll still try to compare to see if it's basically the right format or not. :3
Just looking at it now thought, I think you have it right, mine's still not balancing correctly U.u

when dealing with unit costs in these problems you need to deal in equivalent units 12000 units 2/5 complete = 4800
