D) 39,000

Solutions

Expert Solution

Opening work in process is 7000 units which are 100% materials complete, So no material needed for opening Work in process is 0 as per FIFO method.

Materials started 32000 units out of which units remaining in WIP is 2500

fully completed units transferred = 32000-2500 =29500

Remaining WIP 2500 is fully complete from new material issued. (100%)

Calculation of equivalent units of Material as per FIFO

For opening work in process. (7000*0%)..............................................0

for new units issued and completed 100%. (29500*100%)...............29500

For closing work in process(2500*100%)..........................................2500

________________________________________________________________________________

Total equivalent units for materials......................................................32000

So answer is C, $32000
