Department E had 5,000 units in Work in Process that were 40% completed at the beginning of the period at a cost of $12,500. 14,000 units of direct materials were added during the period at a cost of $28,700. 17,000 units were completed during the period, and 2,000 units were 75% completed at the end of the period. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. Direct labor was $32,000 and factory overhead was $18,000. The number of equivalent units of production for the period for conversion if the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories was:
Answer: |
Number
of units Started and Completed = Completed (-) beginning = 17,000 units (-) 5,000 units = 12,000 units |
Beginning- Work in Process = Beginning Units x (1 -percentage of Completion) = 5,000 x (1- 40%) = 3,000 units |
Ending
Work in Process = Ending Units x percentage of Completion = 2,000 units x 75% = 1,500 units |
Equivalent units of production under FIFO method = (12,000 + 3,000 + 1,500 ) units = 16,500 |
Equivalent units of production under FIFO method = 16,500 |
