1. Work in Process Account Data for Two Months; Cost of Production Reports

   Hearty Soup Co. uses a process cost system to record the costs of processing soup, which requires the cooking and filling processes. Materials are entered from the cooking process at the beginning of the filling process. The inventory of Work in ProcessFilling on April 1 and debits to the account during April were as follows:

   Bal., 800 units, 40% completed:
   	Direct materials (800 x $7.40)	$ 5,920
   	Conversion (800 x 40% x $3.10)	992
   		$ 6,912
   From Cooking Department, 17,440 units		$130,800
   Direct labor		36,213
   Factory overhead		19,499

   During April, 800 units in process on April 1 were completed, and of the 17,440 units entering the department, all were completed except 1,700 units that were 70% completed. Charges to Work in ProcessFilling for May were as follows:

   From Cooking Department, 20,100 units	$154,770
   Direct labor	43,990
   Factory overhead	23,693

   During May, the units in process at the beginning of the month were completed, and of the 20,100 units entering the department, all were completed except 1,000 units that were 90% completed.

   Required:

   1. Enter the balance as of April 1 in a four-column account for Work in ProcessFilling. Record the debits and credits in the account for April. Construct a cost of production report and present computations for determining (a) equivalent units of production for materials and conversion; (b) cost per equivalent unit; (c) cost of goods finished, differentiating between units started in the prior period and units started and finished in April; and (d) work in process inventory. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
