BigSmoker Incorporated produces hardwood pellets for barbecue aficionados. BigSmoker uses the first in, first out (FIFO) method of
process costing. All direct materials are assumed to be added at the beginning of the period, while conversion costs are added
uniformly throughout production. BigSmoker had 20,000 units in beginning work-in-process inventory on February 1. During February,
production was started on an additional 320,000 units. Ending work-in-process (EWIP) at the end of February was 40,000 units.
Management estimates that beginning work-in-process inventory was 100 percent complete for direct materials and 25 percent
complete for conversion costs. Ending work-in-process inventory was estimated to be 100 percent complete for direct materials and
75 percent complete for conversion costs.
Costs incurred during January for February's beginning work-in-process (BWIP) units totaled $120,000 for direct materials and
$50,000 for conversion costs.
During February, production costs included $2,200,000 in direct materials and $1,500,000 for conversion costs.
