1. Stewart Inc. uses a process cost system and the weighted-average cost flow assumption. Production begins in the Fabricating Department where materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. On March 1, the beginning work in process inventory consisted of 20,000 units which were 60% complete and had a cost of $175,000, $145,000 of which were material costs.
During March, the following occurred:
Materials added $305,000
Conversion costs incurred $120,000
Completed units transferred out in March 65,000
Units in ending work in process March 31 (40% complete) 25,000

Instructions:
Answer the following questions and show the computations that support your answers.
(a) What are the equivalent units of production for materials and conversion costs in the Fabricating Department for the month of March?
(b) What are the costs assigned to the ending work in process inventory on March 31?
(c) What are the costs assigned to units completed and transferred out during March?

3. Campbell Inc. is a small manufacturer that uses machine-hours as its activity base for assigning overhead costs to jobs. The company estimated the following amounts for 2013 for the company and for Job 62:

                                             Company       Job 62

Direct labor                            $25,000          $2,500
Manufacturing overhead costs $72,000
Machine hours                         80,000             1,350

During 2013, the actual machine-hours totaled 84,000, and actual overhead costs were $71,000.
Instructions:
(a) Compute the predetermined overhead rate.
(b) Compute the total manufacturing costs for Job 62.
(c) How much overhead is over or under applied for the year for the company? State the dollar amount and whether it is over- or under applied.
