QUESTION 1 (14 marks)
Big Ginger Ltd produces crystallised and chocolate coated ginger pieces at its Gothenburg factory.
The ginger is purchased by the factory as clean, pealed, and raw ginger. Big Ginger Ltd chops the
ginger into uniform pieces which are then transfe
ed to other departments for further processing to
crystallised ginger or chocolate coated ginger treats.
In the Chopping Department, the process-costing system at Big Ginger Ltd has two cost
categories – Direct materials and conversion costs.
Direct materials, being the pealed ginger and secret other ingredients, are added at the beginning of
the process. Conversion costs are added evenly during the process.
When the Chopping Department finishes with the ginger, it is immediately transfe
ed to either
Crystallisation or Chocolate Coating Departments, and then packaged for sale.
Big Ginger Ltd uses the weighted-average method of process costing.
Data for the Chopping Department for January 2018 are:
Physical Units[kg] Direct Materials Conversion costs
Work in process, 1 January 20,000 $70,000 $3,600
Started during January 200,000
Completed during January 210,000
Total costs added during January $1,470,000 $40,000
Opening work in process is 70% complete with regards to conversion costs and closing work in
process is 80% complete with regards to conversion costs.
REQUIRED:
Produce a production cost report in order to calculate the cost of chopped ginger transfe
ed out
and the value of closing work in process in the Chopping department. Round any workings to 4
decimal places and the final answers to the nearest dollar.
