Department G had 2,160 units 25% completed at the beginning of the period, 12,300 units were completed during the period, 1,800 units were 20% completed at the end of the period, and the following manufacturing costs were debited to the departmental work in process account during the period:
Work in process, beginning of period | $26,400 |
Costs added during period: | |
Direct materials (11,940 units at $9) | 107,460 |
Direct labor | 73,200 |
Factory overhead | 24,400 |
All direct materials are placed in process at the beginning of production, and the first-in, first-out method of inventory costing is used. What is the total cost of the units started and completed during the period (round unit cost calculations to whole dollars and round your final answer to the nearest dollar)?
a.$172,915
b.$156,584
c.$91,260
d.$189,247
B. $ 91,260 is the correct alternative
Explanation : During current period total units were completed = 12,300 units.
Out of which 2,160 units was the incomplete units balance of the previous period .
In current period units started and completed =
Nature of completion in current period | Percentage of completion | Proportionate Units completed in current period |
Current period completed but not started units | 2,160X75% | 1,620units |
Current period started and completed units | 10,140X100% | 10,140units |
Current period started but incomplete units | 1,800X20% | 360 units |
12,120units |
Unit cost = [11,940 X $9.00] / 12,120 units = $ 8.87 or $ 9.
Total cost of units started and completed during the current year = 10,140 X $ 9 = $ 91,260
