Conversion and direct materials are generally both added at the end of the production process.

The three categories of manufacturing costs comprising the cost of work in process are direct labor, direct materials, and:

Costs of ending work in process inventory are included in the cost per equivalent unit computation.

Mocha Company manufactures a single product by a continuous process, involving three production departments. The records indicate that direct materials, direct labor, and applied factory overhead for Department 1 were $100,000, $125,000, and $150,000, respectively. The records further indicate that direct materials, direct labor, and applied factory overhead for Department 2 were $55,000, $65,000, and $80,000, respectively. In addition, work in process at the beginning of the period for Department 1 totaled $75,000, and work in process at the end of the period totaled $60,000. The journal entry to record the flow of costs into Department 1 during the period for direct labor is:

During the period, the Bottling Department completed 65,000 liters, including 3,000 liters of work in process at the beginning of the period. The ending work in process was 5,000 liters. How many liters were started and completed during the period?

Department W had 2,400 units, one-third completed at the beginning of the period, 16,000 units were transferred to Department X from Department W during the period, and 1,800 units were one-half completed at the end of the period. Assume the completion ratios apply to direct materials and conversion costs. What are the total gross number of units to be assigned cost on the cost of production report for Department W?

Carmelita Inc., has the following information available: At the beginning of the period, there were 500 units in process that were 60 percent complete as to conversion costs and 100 percent complete as to direct materials costs. During the period 4,500 units were started and completed. Ending inventory contained 340 units that were 30 percent complete as to conversion costs and 100 percent complete as to materials costs.
