Question

A company uses a process cost accounting system. Its Sewing Department's beginning inventory consisted of 50,000 units (1/4 complete with respect to direct labor and overhead). The Sewing Department started and finished 120,000 units this period. Its ending inventory consists of 40,000 units (1/4 complete with respect to direct labor and overhead). All direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. Under the weighted-average inventory valuation method, what are the equivalent units of production for the Sewing Department for direct materials and for direct labor and overhead, respectively?A. 210,000;120,000B. 210,000; 180,000C. 167,500; 167,500D. 160,000; 162,500E. 160,000; 167,500

Answer 1

Answer:

B Direct Materials 210,000; Conversion Cost 180,000

Explanation:

beginning inventory 50,000

start and finished   120,000

Complete and trasnferred-out 170,000

Convesion Cost:

Coplete and transferred-out     170,000

Ending Inventory 40,000 x 1/4 = 10,000

CC equivalent units                  180,000

DIrect Materials

Coplete and transferred-out         170,000

Ending Inventory 40,000x100%  = 40,000

DM equivalent units                       210,000

Under W-A method we justdiscriminate on transferred-out and ending work in process.

We don't do the difference between started and finished and beginning inventory.
