A companys beginning Work in Process Inventory consisted of

A company\'s beginning Work in Process Inventory consisted of 27,500 units that were 20% complete with respect to direct labor. These beginning units were completed and another 102,000 units were started during the current period. Of those started, 67,500 were finished and the remaining 34,500 were 40% complete at the end of the period. Using the weighted-average method, the equivalent units of production with regard to direct labor were:

a) 112,500

b) 84,500

c) 67,500

d) 108,800

e) 89,500

Solution

Answer

d ) 108800

beginning work in process = 27500

started during the current period = 102000

finished during the process = 67500

ending work in process =34500

equivalent units of production = 27500 + 67500 + (34500 * 40 % )

= 27500 + 67500 +13800

= 108800
