Beta uses process costing. It started the period with zero beginning inventory in WIP and Finished Goods inventory. It began work on 400 units during the period and incurred the following costs during the period. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process followed by the conversion process.
Direct Material Costs: $128,000
Conversion Costs: $74,400
At the end of the period, the degree of completion of the 400 units for each cost category was as follows:
Direct Materials: 400 units were 100% completed
Conversion Costs: 175 units were 100% completed and transferred to Finished Goods inventory
225 units were 60% completed
10) Calculate the number of equivalent units for the Conversion Cost category.
11) Calculate the total (DM + Conversion Costs) manufacturing cost per finished unit.
12) Calculate the ending balance (in dollars ) of Work-in-Process (WIP) inventory.
13) Calculate the ending balance (in dollars ) of Finished Goods inventory.
