Pureform Inc uses the weightedaverage method in its process

Pureform, Inc., uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. It manufactures a product that passes through two departments. Data for a recent month for the first department follow:

                                                                          Units             Materials       Labor      Overhead            

Work in process inventory, Beginning            60,000 $          67,300 $    11,400       $21,000

Units started in process                                   569,000

Units transferred out                                        590,000

Work in process inventory, ending                    39,000

Cost added during the month                                                  $889,515 $ 140,975 $ 259,370.

The beginning work in process inventory was 90% complete with respect to materials and 75% complete with respect to labor and overhead. The ending work in process inventory was 70% complete with respect to materials and 50% complete with respect to labor and overhead. Required:

1. Compute the first department\'s equivalent units of production for materials, labor, and overhead for the month.

                                                         Materials                      Labor                 Overhead

Equalvent units of production

2. Determine the first department\'s cost per equivalent unit for materials, labor, and overhead for the month. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

                                                           Materials                      Labor                 Overhead

Cost per equalvent unit

Solution

1. Compute the first department\'s equivalent units of production for materials, labor, and overhead for the month.

2. Determine the first department\'s cost per equivalent unit for materials, labor, and overhead for the month. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Physical unit % material % Labour % Overhead
Unit transferred out 590000 100% 590000 100% 590000 100% 590000
Ending work in process 39000 70% 27300 50% 19500 50% 19500
Total Equivalent unit 617300 609500 609500
