Department G had 2,280 units 25% completed at the beginning of the period, 13,700 units were completed during the period, 1,900 units were 20% completed at the end of the period, and the following manufacturing costs debited to the departmental work in process account during the period: Work in process, beginning of period $26,100 Costs added during period: Direct materials (13,320 units at $8) 106,560 Direct labor 72,000 Factory overhead 24,000 All direct materials are placed in process at the beginning of production and the first-in, first-out method of inventory costing is used. The total cost of 2,280 units of beginning inventory which were completed during the period is (do not round unit cost calculations) $26,100 $40,151 $35,821 $38,251
Solution:
| Department G | |||
| Computation of Equivalent unit (FIFO) | |||
| Particulars | Physical units | Material | Conversion | 
| Units to be accounted for: | |||
| Beginning WIP Inventory | 2280 | ||
| Units started this period | 13320 | ||
| Total unit to be accounted for | 15600 | ||
| Units Accounted for: | |||
| Units completed and transferred out | |||
| 
From beginning inventory Material - 0% Conversion - 75%  | 
2280 | 0 | 1710 | 
| Started and completed currently | 11420 | 11420 | 11420 | 
| Transferred to finished goods | 13700 | 11420 | 13130 | 
| 
Units in ending WIP Material - 100% Conversion - 20%  | 
1900 | 1900 | 380 | 
| Total units accounted for | 15600 | 13320 | 13510 | 
| Department G | |||
| Computation of Cost per Equivalent unit | |||
| Particulars | Total cost | Material | Conversion | 
| Current period cost | $202,560.00 | $106,560.00 | $96,000.00 | 
| Equivalent units | 13320 | 13510 | |
| Cost per equivalent unit | $8.00 | $7.105848 | 
Total cost of 2,280 units of beginning inventory which were completed during the period is = $26,100 + (1710*$7.105848) = $38,251
Hence last option is correct.
