Question

1. Equivalent Units of Production and Related Costs

   The charges to Work in Process—Assembly Department for a period, together with information concerning production, are as follows. All direct materials are placed in process at the beginning of production.

   Work in Process-Assembly Department
   Bal., 3,000 units, 35% completed	9,000	To Finished Goods, 69,000 units	?
   Direct materials, 71,000 units @ $1.60	113,600
   Direct labor	222,800
   Factory overhead	86,585
   Bal., ? units, 80% completed	?

   Determine the following:

   a. The number of units in work in process inventory at the end of the period.
   

   b. Equivalent units of production for direct materials and conversion. If an amount is zero or a blank, enter in "0".

   Work in Process-Assembly Department
   Equivalent Units of Production for Direct Materials and Conversion Costs
   	Whole Units	Equivalent Units Direct Materials	Equivalent Units Conversion
   Inventory in process, beginning
   Started and completed
   Transferred to finished goods
   Inventory in process, ending
   Total units

   c. Costs per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion. If required, round your answers to the nearest cent.

   	Costs Per Equivalent Unit
   Direct Materials	$
   Conversion	$

   d. Cost of the units started and completed during the period.

Answer 1

1. a. The number of units in work in process inventory at the end of the period

2. Ending WIP = 3000+71000-69000 = 5000 Units

3. b. Equivalent units of production for direct materials and conversion. If an amount is zero or a blank, enter in "0".

   Work in Process-Assembly Department
   Equivalent Units of Production for Direct Materials and Conversion Costs
   	Whole Units	Equivalent Units Direct Materials	Equivalent Units Conversion
   Inventory in process, beginning	3000	0	3000*65% = 1950
   Started and completed	66000	66000	66000
   Transferred to finished goods	69000	66000	67950
   Inventory in process, ending	5000	5000	5000*80% = 4000
   Total units	74000	71000	71950

   c. Costs per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion. If required, round your answers to the nearest cent.

   	Costs Per Equivalent Unit
   Direct Materials	$113600/71000 = 1.6
   Conversion	$309385/71950 = 4.3

   d. Cost of the units started and completed during the period.
   (1.6+4.3)*66000 = $389400
