Question

Weighted Average Method, FIFO Method, Physical Flow, Equivalent Units Heap Company manufactures a product that passes through two processes: Fabrication and Assembly. The following information was obtained for the Fabrication Department for September: All materials are added at the beginning of the process. Beginning work in process had 86,300 units, 30 percent complete with respect to conversion costs. Ending work in process had 19,300 units, 40 percent complete with respect to conversion costs. Started in process, 105,900 units. Required: 1. Prepare a physical flow schedule.

Answer 1

Answer:

Physical flow schedule

Inputs

Beginning Work in Process                86,300

Add Units Started                              105,900

Total                                                    192,200

Outputs

Units Completed and Transferred   172,900

Units in Ending Work in Process       19,300

Total                                                    192,200

Explanation:

A physical flow schedule is simply a schedule of units introduced into the process and units outputs without expressing them to equivalent units.

Units Introduced must always be equal to units outputs in physicals terms.

Units Completed and Transferred = Beginning Inventory + Units Started - Units in Ending Work in Process

                                                        = 86,300 + 105,900 - 19,300

                                                        = 172,900
