question
A department adds raw materials to a process at the beginning of the process and incurs conversion costs uniformly throughout the process. For the month of January, there were no units in the beginning work in process inventory; 90,000 units were started into production in January; and there were 20,000 units that were 40% complete in the ending work in process inventory at the end of January. What were the equivalent units of production for materials for the month of January?
answer
90,000 equivalent units Solution: (90,000 - 20,000) + 20,000 = 90,000
question
If equivalent units are 15,000 for conversion costs and units transferred out equals 10,000, what stage of completion should the ending work in process be for the 20,000 units remaining?
answer
25% Solution: (15,000 - 10,000) = 5,000; 5,000 / 20,000 = 25%

question
In the month of April, a department had 500 units in the beginning work in process inventory that were 60% complete. These units had $60,000 of materials costs and $45,000 of conversion costs. Materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are added uniformly throughout the process. During April, 10,000 units were completed and transferred to the finished goods inventory and there were 2,000 units that were 25% complete in the ending work in process inventory on April 30. During April, manufacturing costs charged to the department were: Materials $1,380,000; Conversion costs $1,530,000. The cost assigned to the units in the ending work in process inventory on April 30 was
answer
$315,000 Solution: ($60,000 + $1,380,000) / 12,000 = $120; ($45,000 + $1,530,000) / 10,500 = $150; (2,000 x $120) + (2,000 x .25 x $150) = $315,000
