Question 1
Conlon Chemicals manufactures paint thinner. Information on the work in process follows:
• Beginning inventory, 42,900 partially complete gallons.
• Transferred out, 207,200 gallons.
• Ending inventory (materials are 22 percent complete; conversion costs are 10 percent complete).
• Started this month, 236,700 gallons.
Required:
a. Compute the equivalent units for materials using the weighted-average method.
b. Compute the equivalent units for conversion costs using the weighted-average method.
Question 2
Conlon Chemicals manufactures paint thinner. Information on the work in process follows:
• Beginning inventory, 43,000 partially complete gallons.
• Transferred out, 207,000 gallons.
• Ending inventory (materials are 19 percent complete; conversion costs are 11 percent complete).
• Started this month, 236,000 gallons.
Assume that beginning inventory is 50 percent complete with respect to materials and 31 percent complete with respect to conversion costs
Required:
a. Compute the equivalent units for materials using FIFO.
b. Compute the equivalent units for conversion costs using FIFO.
