FIFO EUP
In manufacturing its products, Trevano Corp. adds all direct
material at the beginning of the production process. The company’s
direct labor and overhead are considered to be continuously at the
same degree of completion. The company uses the FIFO method of
process costing. September production information is as
follows:
Beginning WIP Inventory | 10,000 | pounds |
Started during September | 25,000 | pounds |
Completed during September | 32,000 | pounds |
As of September 1, the beginning WIP Inventory was 30 percent
complete as to labor and overhead. On September 30, the ending WIP
Inventory was 80 percent complete as to conversion.
a. What proportion of work needs to be performed on the beginning inventory units to complete them? Answer
%
b. What are the equivalent units of production for direct
material? Answer
pounds
c. What are the equivalent units of production for
conversion? Answer
pounds
Proportion of work needs to be
performed = (100% - 30% complete)
= 70%
