DM are added at the beginning of the process Physical units
DM are added at the beginning of the process.
Physical units are as follows:
Beginning WIP = 40,000 units, 80% completed last period.
Of the 76,000 units started this period, only 42,000 were complete at the end of the period.
Ending WIP was 60% complete as to CC.
Costs are as follows:
Beginning WIP: DM $41,080; CC $95,928
Current month costs: DM $90,000; CC $157,000
What are CC for ending WIP?
$252,928
$88,808
$202,540
$50,388
| a. | $252,928 | |
| b. | $88,808 | |
| c. | $202,540 | |
| d. | $50,388 |
Solution
Equivalent unit of material = (40000+42000)+34000 = 116000
Equivalent unit of conversion = (40000+42000)+34000*60% = 102400
Cost per equivalent unit of material = (41080+90000)/116000 = 1.13
Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = (95928+157000)/102400 = 2.47
Conversion cost for ending work in process = (34000*60%*2.47) = 50388
So answer is d) $50388
