Comprehensive Exercise; Second Production Department-Weighted-Average Method [LO2, LO3, LO4, LO5]

Papyrutech Corporation produces fine papers in three production departments-Pulping, Drying, and Finishing. In the Pulping Department, raw materials such as wood fiber and rag cotton are mechanically and chemically treated to separate their fibers. The result is a thick slurry of fibers. In the Drying Department, the wet fibers transferred from the Pulping Department are laid down on porous webs, pressed to remove excess liquid, and dried in ovens. In the Finishing Department, the dried paper is coated, cut, and spooled onto reels. The company uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. Data for October for the Drying Department follow:




Percent Completed

  Work in process inventory, October 1 3,300   100 %

80 %
  Work in process inventory, October 31 4,500 100 %

  Pulping cost added during October


$ 95,857

  Conversion cost added during October


$ 69,096




No materials are added in the Drying Department. Pulping cost represents the costs of the wet fibers transferred in from the Pulping Department. Wet fiber is processed in the Drying Department in batches; each unit in the above table is a batch and one batch of wet fibers produces a set amount of dried paper that is passed on to the Finishing Department.
