Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of units transferred out during the month was:$ 99980

Explanation:

Mundes Corporation

Current Costs Added

Units Transferred  Costs $ 90480

Materials =8700 * $ 4.7= $ 40890

Conversion= 8700* $5.70= $ 49590

Costs from Preceding Department (WIP beginning Inventory)= $ 9500

Total Costs= Costs Added + Costs from Preceding Department

                  = $ 90480+ $ 9500= $ 99980

The Costs of units transferred out is $ 99980

The current costs are added to the preceding costs to get the total costs of the units transferred out.
