Essay

Vincent Manufacturing employs a weighted average process costing system for its products.One product passes through three departments (Molding,Assembly,and Finishing)during production.The following activity took place in the Finishing Department during April:.
Units in beginning inventory                            4,200
Units transferred in from Assembly                  42,000
Units spoiled                                                    2,100
Good units transferred out                                  33,600

The costs per equivalent unit of production for each cost failure area as follows:

Cost of prior departments	$5.00
Raw material	1.00
Conversion	3.00
Total cost per EUP	$9.00

Raw material is added at the beginning of the Finishing process without changing the number of units being processed.Work in process inventory was 40 percent complete as to conversion on April 30.All spoilage was discovered at final inspection.Of the total units spoiled,1,680 were within normal limits.Spoilage is considered discrete.
