Question

Highlands Company uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. It processes wood pulp for various manufacturers of paper products. Data relating to tons of pulp processed during June are provided below: Percent Completed Tons of Pulp Materials Labor and Overhead Work in process, June 1 81,100 88 % 28 % Work in process, June 30 50,700 49 % 13 % Started into production during June 300,200 Required: 1. Compute the number of tons of pulp completed and transferred out during June. 2. Compute the equivalent units of production for materials and for labor and overhead for June.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Tons of Pulp

Work in process, June 1 81,100

Started into production during the month 300,200

Total tons in process 381,300

Less: work in process, June 30 50,700

Completed and transferred out during the month 330,600

2. Equivalent Units of Production

Equivalent units of production for materials = 330,600+50,700 tons × 49% = 355,443

Equivalent units of production for labor and overhead = 330,600+50,700 tons × 13% = 337,191
