INSTRUCTIONS. WRITE YOUR FINAL ANSWERS ON THE ANSWER SHEET PROVIDED. FOR
PROBLEM SOLVING ITEMS, PLEASE WRITE SOLUTIONS ON THE ANSWER SHEET ALSO.
1. If there was no beginning work in process and no ending work in process under the
weighted-average process costing method, the number of equivalent units for direct
materials, if direct materials were added at the start of the process, would be:
A. Equal to the units started or transferred-in
C. Less than the units completed
B. Equal to the units completed
D. Both a and b are correct
2. Under the weighted-average method, the stage of completion of beginning work in
process:
A. Is relevant in determining the equivalent units
B. Must be combined with the work done during the current period to determine the
equivalent units
C. Is irrelevant in determining the equivalent-unit calculation
D. Can almost always be determined with a high degree of precision
3. A distinct feature of the FIFO process-costing method is that the:
A. Work done on beginning inventory before the current period is blended with the work
done during the current period in the calculation of equivalent units
B. Work done on beginning inventory before the current period is kept separate from the
work done during the current period in the calculation of equivalent units
C. Work done on ending inventory is kept separate from the work done during the current
period in the calculation of equivalent units and is usually not included in the
calculation
D. FIFO process costing method is only minimally different from the weighted-average
process costing method
4. A disadvantage of the weighted-average method compared to the FIFO process costing
method is that:
A. FIFO is computationally simpler
B. FIFO provides better management information for planning and control purposes
C. When unit cost per input prices fluctuate markedly from month to month, its per unit
cost is less representative than FIFO

less useful than the information provided by FIFO
5. Which of the industries listed is most likely to use process costing in accounting for
production costs?
A. Electrical contractor
C. Newspaper publishing
B. Clothing manufacturing

6. In comparing the FIFO and weighted-average methods for calculating equivalent units
A. The FIFO method is better than the weighted-average for judging the performance in a
period independently from performance in preceding periods
B. The weighted average is more precise than the FIFO method because the weighted
average method is based only on the work completed in the current period
C. The FIFO method tends to smooth costs out more over time than the weighted average
method
D. The two methods will give similar results even if physical inventory levels and the
production costs (materials and conversion costs) fluctuate greatly from period to
period

For items 39 -40:
IJK Industries manufactures a series of three models of molded plastic chairs: standard (without
arms), deluxe (with arms), and executive (with arms and padding). All are variations of the same
design. The company uses batch manufacturing and has a hybrid costing system. It has an
Page 6 of 8

extrusion operation and subsequent operations to form, trim, and finish the chairs. Plastic sheets
are produced by the extrusion operation, some of which are sold directly to other manufacturers.
During the forming operation, the remaining plastic sheets are molded into chair seats and the
legs are added; the standard model is sold after this operation. During the trim operation, the
arms are added to the deluxe and executive models, and the chair edges are smoothed. Only the
executive model enters the finish operation where the padding is added. All units produced
receive the same steps within each operation.
The July production run had a total manufacturing cost of P1,796,000. The units of production
and direct material costs incurred were as follows:
