"The Marlene Doll Co. uses a process costing system. Consider the following data for Dept. A. UNITS: W-1-P Nov. 1: 8,000 units,100% completed for direct material 75% completed for conversion costs Started in November: 10,000 units Transferred to Dept B: 12,000 units W-1-P Nov. 30: 6,000 units,100% completed for direct material 50% completed for conversion costs COSTS: W-1-P Nov. 1:Direct Materials$9,600 Conversion 4,800 Costs added in November:Direct Material$15,600 Conversion 14,400 a)Use the WEIGHTED AVERAGE method. Prepare a complete process costing schedule for Dept. A for November. Prepare a set of summarized journal entries for all November transactions affecting work-in-process, Dept A including the transfer to Dept B. Overhead was allocated at 400% of direct labor costs. Show all computations. b)Use the FIFO method. Prepare a complete process costing schedule for Dept. A for November. Show all computations."
