Problem 20-2A Weighted average: Cost per equivalent unit; costs
assigned to products LO C2, C3
[The following information applies to the questions
displayed below.]
Victory Company uses weighted-average process costing to account
for its production costs. Conversion cost is added evenly
throughout the process. Direct materials are added at the beginning
of the process. During November, the company transferred 730,000
units of product to finished goods. At the end of November, the
work in process inventory consists of 183,000 units that are 60%
complete with respect to conversion. Beginning inventory had
$356,070 of direct materials and $83,980 of conversion cost. The
direct material cost added in November is $2,382,930, and the
conversion cost added is $1,595,620. Beginning work in process
consisted of 70,000 units that were 100% complete with respect to
direct materials and 80% complete with respect to conversion. Of
the units completed, 70,000 were from beginning work in process and
660,000 units were started and completed during the period.
Problem 20-2A Part 1
Required:
1. Determine the equivalent units of production
with respect to direct materials and conversion.
2. Compute both the direct material cost and the conversion cost per equivalent unit.
3. Compute the direct material cost and the
conversion cost assigned to units completed and transferred out and
ending work in process inventory. (Round "Cost per EUP" to
2 decimal places.)
1. Determine the equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials and conversion.
Physical Unit | % | EUP-Material | % | EUP-Conversion | |
Unit completed and transferred out | 730000 | 100% | 730000 | 100% | 730000 |
Ending work in process | 183000 | 100% | 183000 | 60% | 109800 |
Equivalent unit of production | 913000 | 913000 | 839800 | ||
2. Compute both the direct material cost and the conversion cost per equivalent unit.
Material | Conversion | |
Beginning work in process | 356070 | 83980 |
Cost added | 2382930 | 1595620 |
Total Cost | 2739000 | 1679600 |
Equivalent unit | 913000 | 839800 |
Cost per equivalent unit | 3 | 2 |
3) Cost unit transferred out
Material | Conversion | total cost | |
Cost of unit transferred out | 730000*3 = 2190000 | 730000*2 = 1460000 | 3650000 |
Cost of ending work in process
Material | Conversion | Total | |
Cost of ending work in process | 183000*3 = 549000 | 109800*2 = 219600 | 768600 |
