Problem:
Ogden Co. manufactures a single product in one department. All direct materials are added at the beginning of the manufacturing process. Direct labor and overhead are added evenly throughout the process. The company uses monthly reporting periods for its weighted-average process cost accounting. During October, the company completed and transferred 22,200 units of product to finished goods inventory. Its 3,000 units of beginning goods in process consisted of $9,900 of direct materials, $61,650 of direct labor, and $49,320 of factory overhead. It has 2,400 units (100% complete with respect to direct materials and 80% complete with respect to direct labor and overhead) in process at month-end. After entries to record direct materials, direct labor, and overhead for October, the company's Goods in Process Inventory account follows.

2. Assume that Ogden uses the FIFO method to account for its process costing system. The following additional information is available:
Beginning goods in process consisted of 3,000 units that were 100% complete with respect to direct materials and 40% complete with respect to direct labor and overhead.
Of the 22,200 units completed, 3,000 were from beginning goods in process. The remaining 19,200 were units started and completed during October.
Required
1. Prepare the company's process cost summary for October using FIFO.
2. Prepare the journal entry dated October 31 to transfer the cost of completed units to finished goods inventory.
