Equivalent Units and Product Cost Assignment—Weighted Average Method

In its first month of operations (May 2016), Allred Company\'s Department 1 incurred charges of $144,000 for direct materials (4,500 units), $77,400 for direct labor, and $27,000 for manufacturing overhead. At month end, 4,250 units had been finished and transferred out. Those remaining were finished with respect to material but only 40% finished with respect to conversion.

Assuming Allred uses the weighted average method and that materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion occurs evenly, compute the following:

A The equivalent units for material and conversion.

B The cost per equivalent unit for material and conversion.

C The total cost assigned to the units transferred out.

D The total cost assigned to the ending inventory.

E Prove that your solutions to requirements (c) and (d) sum to the total costs to be accounted for.

Round average cost per equivalent unit to two decimal places, if applicable.
