Costs from Beginning Inventory | Costs from Current Period | |
Direct materials | $5,100 | $23,600 |
Conversion costs | 6,500 | 158,100 |
At the beginning of the period, there were 500 units in process that were 45% complete as to conversion costs and 100% complete as to direct materials costs. During the period, 5,100 units were started and completed. Ending inventory contained 400 units that were 22% complete as to conversion costs and 100% complete as to materials costs. The company uses the FIFO process cost method.
The cost of completing a unit (rounded to the nearest cent) during the current period was
unit transfered out = beginning + started -ending
= 500 +5100 -400
= 5200
Material | conversion | |
Units transfered from beginning WIP | 0 | 275 [500(1-.45 complete) ,so it means .55 is incomplete] |
units started and transfered out [5200-500 from beginning WIP ] | 4700 | 4700 |
Ending WIP | 400 | 88 [400*.22] |
Equivalent units | 5100 | 5063 |
cost incurred during the period | 23600 | 158100 |
cost per equivalent units | 23600/5100 = $ 4.62745 | 158100/5063 = $ 31.22655 |
The cost of completing a unit (rounded to the nearest cent) during the current period = material cost +conversion cost
= 4.62745+31.22655
= $ 35.85 per unit
