question
A department had 21,500 units that were 20% complete in beginning Goods in Process Inventory. During the current period 103,200 units were transferred in. Ending Goods in Process Inventory was 25,800 units that were 70% complete. Assume this company uses the weighted-average method of process costing and direct material is added uniformly throughout the process. What are the equivalent units produced with respect to direct material?
answer
116,960 Units Completed and Transferred Out = Beginning Inventory + Units Transferred In βˆ’ Ending Inventory. Units Completed and Transferred Out = 21,500 + 103,200 βˆ’ 25,800 = 98,900 Equivalent Units = 98,900 + (25,800)(0.70) = 116,960
question
Equivalent units of production are equal to:
answer
The number of units that could have been completed if all effort had been applied to units that were started and completed that period.
question
Medina Corp. had the following information available for the year: Beginning inventory of goods in process (40% complete, $3,100)- 400 units Ending inventory of goods in process (80% complete)- 800 units Total units started during the year- 11,200 units If the weighted-average inventory method were used, the equivalent units for the year would be:
answer
11,440 10,800 + (800 Γ— .8) = 11,440
question
A company's beginning work in process inventory consisted of 22,000 units that were 1/5 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, 66,000 were finished and the remaining 36,000 were one-third complete at the end of the period. Using the weighted-average method, the equivalent units of production were:
answer
100,000 88,000 + (36,000)(1 / 3) = 100,000
question
At the beginning of the recent period, there were 1,020 units of product in a department, one-third completed. These units were finished and an additional 5,500 units were started and completed during the period. 840 units were still in process at the end of the period, one-fourth completed. Using the weighted-average valuation method, the equivalent units produced by the department were:
answer
6,730 units. 6,520 + (840 Γ— ΒΌ) = 6,730
question
During a period, Department A finished and transferred 60,000 units to Department B. Of the 60,000 units, 12,000 were one-fifth complete with respect to direct labor at the beginning of the period and 37,500 were started and completed during the period. Also, during the period, 12,500 units were started but brought only to a stage of being three-fifths completed. Using the weighted-average inventory valuation method, the number of equivalent units of labor added by the end of the period was:
answer
67,500 units. 60,000 + (12,500 Γ— 3 / 5) = 67,500
