TRUE/FALSE: Read the following statements and write your answer before each number.

1) When materials are purchased in a process costing system, a work in process account
is debited with the cost of the materials.
2) Any difference in the equivalent units calculated under the weighted-average and the
FIFO methods is due to the units in the ending work in process inventory.
3) The equivalent units in beginning work in process inventory plus the equivalent units
for the work done during the period equals the units transferred out plus the equivalent
units in ending work in process inventory.
4) There is no difference in the unit costs computed under the weighted-average and
FIFO methods of process costing if there are no beginning work in process
inventories.
5) Under the weighted-average method of process costing, costs from the prior period are
averaged with those of the current period in computing unit costs.
6) In a process costing production report, the “Cost to be accounted for” will be the same
whether the weighted-average or the FIFO method is used.
7) Under the FIFO method of product costing, equivalent units of production consider
units in the beginning inventory as if they were started and completed during the
current period.
8) The production report of a company using the FIFO cost method likely would show
goods transferred from a department in two parts--one part consisting of units from the
beginning inventory completed and transferred, and the other part consisting of units
that were both started and completed during the month.
9) In computing the cost per equivalent unit on the production report, costs in the
beginning work in process inventory are kept separate from current period costs when
the FIFO method is used.
10) A major advantage of the FIFO method is that it allows managers to judge the
performance of the current period independently of the performance of the prior
period.

PROBLEMS:Read the following problems and enclose your final answer in a box.

4) The Assembly Department started the month with 59,000 units in its beginning work
in process inventory. An additional 367,000 units were transferred in from the prior
department during the month to begin processing in the Assembly Department. There
were 35,000 units in the ending work in process inventory of the Assembly
Department.

6) Brooks Company uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The
beginning work in process inventory in a particular department consisted of 12,000
units, 100% complete with respect to materials cost and 40% complete with respect to
conversion costs. The total cost in the beginning work in process inventory was
$25,000. During the month, 50,000 units were completed and transferred out of the
department. The costs per equivalent unit were computed to be $1.50 for materials and
$3.20 for conversion costs. The total cost of the units completed and transferred out of
the department was:
