Department S had no work in process at the beginning of the period. It added 11,400 units of direct materials during the period at a cost of $79,800; 8,550 units were completed during the period; and 2,850 units were 40% completed as to labor and overhead at the end of the period. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. Direct labor was $52,000 and factory overhead was $8,600. The total cost of units completed during the period was
Direct labor + factory overhead = Conversion cost
Calculation of equivalent units : | ||||
Materials | Conversion cost | |||
Calculation | Equivalent units | Calculation | Equivalent units | |
Units started and completed * 100% | 8550*100% | 8550 | 8550*100% | 8550 |
(+) Ending inventory units * %completion | 2850*100% | 2850 | 2850*40% | 1140 |
Total equivalent units | 11400 | 9690 | ||
Calculation of cost per equivalent units : | ||||
Materials | Conversion cost | |||
Cost incurred during the period | 79800 | 60600 [ i.e. 52000 + 8600 ] | ||
(/) Equivalent units | 11400 | 9690 | ||
Cost per equivalent units | 7 | 6.25 |
Total cost of units completed during the period = Units completed * ( Materials cost per equivalent unit + Conversion cost per equivalent unit ) = 8550 * (7 + 6.25) = 113,287.50
