4. Production Report
Alfombra Inc, manufactures throw rugs. The throw rugs department weaves cloth and yarn into throw rugs of various sizes. Alfombra uses the weighted average method. Materials are added uniformly throughout the weaving process. In August, Alfombra switched from FIFO to the weighted average method. The following data are for throw-rug department for August:
Production:
Units in process, August 1, 60 percent complete 50,000
Units completed and transferred out 150,000
Units in process, August 31, 60 percent complete 50,000
Costs:
WIP, August 1 $180,000
Current costs 756,000
Total $936,000
Refer to the information for Alfombra Inc. above. The owner of Alfombra insisted on a formal report that provided all the detail of the weighted average method. In the manufacturing process, all materials are added uniformly throughout the process.
Required:
Prepare a production report for the bath linens department for August using the weighted average method.
