2. Showing in step 5 the journal entries affecting Casey’s dyeing department during July.

1Step-by-Step Solution: Step 1: Production Cost Report

Production cost report is prepared by the companies using the process costing system while determining the total manufacturing cost. It shows the detailed costing of the products.

2Step 2: Equivalent unit of production for transferred in

EUP for Transferred in=(Completed units×Completion%)+(Ending WIP units×Completion%)                                          =(550×100%)+(115×100%)                                          =665



3Step 3: Equivalent unit of production for direct material

EUP for Direct material=(Completed units×Completion%)+(Ending WIPunits×Completion%)                                          =(550×100%)+(115×100%)                                         =665

4Step 4: Equivalent unit of production for conversion costs

EUP for Conversion cost=(Completed units×Completion%)+(Ending WIPunits×Completion%)                                       =(550×100%)+(115×80%)=642
