"Clauss Company transfers out 14,000 units and has 2,000 units of ending work in process that are 25% complete. Materials are en
diamong [38]

Answer:

a. $112,000

b.    $7,500

Explanation:

(a) transferred out

Units transferred out are 100% complete for both materials and conversion costs, thus multiply the Total Cost per Equivalent units with the number of units transferred.

Cost of units transferred out = $8 × 14,000 units

                                               = $112,000

(b) in ending work in process

Units of ending work in process are 100% complete in terms of materials ( since materials are entered at the beginning of the process) whilst 25% complete in terms on conversion cost (applied uniformly during production).

Cost of ending work in process

Materials ($3 × 2,000 units)                  = $6,000

Conversion ($3 × (2,000 units × 25%)) =  $1,500

Total Cost                                               = $7,500
