Carmelita Inc. has the following information available:
Costs from Beginning Inventory | Costs from Current Period | |
Direct materials | $4,800 | $28,900 |
Conversion costs | 6,600 | 150,900 |
At the beginning of the period, there were 600 units in process that were 42% complete as to conversion costs and 100% complete as to direct materials costs. During the period, 4,600 units were started and completed. Ending inventory contained 400 units that were 30% complete as to conversion costs and 100% complete as to materials costs. Assume that the company uses the FIFO process cost method. Round cost per unit figures to the nearest cent when calculating total costs.
The total costs transferred into Finished Goods for units
started and completed were
a.$163,576
b.$177,800
c.$231,140
d.$114,503
Solution:
Carmelita Inc. | |||
Computation of Equivalent unit (FIFO) | |||
Particulars | Physical units | Material | Conversion |
Units to be accounted for: | |||
Beginning WIP Inventory | 600 | ||
Units started this period | 5000 | ||
Total unit to be accounted for | 5600 | ||
Units Accounted for: | |||
Units completed and transferred out | |||
From beginning inventory Material - 0% Conversion - 58% |
600 | 0 | 348 |
Started and completed currently | 4600 | 4600 | 4600 |
Transferred to finished goods | 5200 | 4600 | 4948 |
Units in ending WIP Material - 100% Conversion - 30% |
400 | 400 | 120 |
Total units accounted for | 5600 | 5000 | 5068 |
Carmelita Inc. | |||
Computation of Cost per Equivalent unit | |||
Particulars | Total cost | Material | Conversion |
Current period cost | $179,800.00 | $28,900.00 | $150,900.00 |
Equivalent units | 5000 | 5068 | |
Cost per equivalent unit | $5.78 | $29.78 |
Cost of units started and completed during the period = 4600 * ($5.78 + $29.78) = $163,576
Hence option a is correct.
