Work in Process-Forming Beginning inventory, October 1 $ 49,862 Transferred to Finishing Direct materials 191,472 Conversion costs 168,200 Ending inventory ? Print Done Requirement Journalize the transfer of costs to the Finishing Department. (Hint Complete the five-step process costing procedure to determine how much cost to transfer.) We need to begin the five-step process costing procedure by first summarizing the units to account for and computing the equivalent units. Forming Department Equivalent Unit Computation Month Ended October 31 Flow of Physical Units Equivalent Units Direct Conversion Materials Costs Flow of Production Units to account for: Units accounted for: Total equivalent units The next step is calculating the cost per equivalent unit. (Enter the cost per equivalent unit to two decimal places.) Forming Department Cost per Equivalent Unit Month Ended October 31 Direct Conversion Materials Costs Total Cost per equivalent unit Now we can calculate the total cost of the units completed and transferred out and the ending work in process. (Enter quantities first, then the cost per equivalent unit amounts in the same order as calculated in the preceding step.) Assembly Department Month Ended October 31 Assigning Costs Direct Conversion Materials Costs Total Completed and transferred out: Ending work in process: Total costs accounted for Finally, journalize the transfer of costs to the Finishing Department. (Record debits first, then credits. Exclude explanations from any journal entries.) Journal Entry Date Accounts Debit Credit
