<u>Total Costs              199920            $28,080           106970    </u> <u>$334970</u>

b. Conversion cost per equivalent unit during March

                  Total Conversion Costs/ Total Equivalent Units Conversion

               =   106970/56,300 = $1.9 per Equivalent Unit

Materials cost per equivalent unit during March

 Total Materials Costs/ Total Equivalent Units Materials

               =   28080/52000 = $ 0.54 per Equivalent Unit

Transferred In cost per equivalent unit during March

Total Transferred In Costs / Total Transferred In Units

                 = 199920 / 73500 = 2.72

C. Cost Assigned To Transferred Out Goods $ 268,320

Materials = 52,000*0.54= $ 28080

Conversion = 52,000* 1.9=  98800

Transferred in Units = 2.72 * 52000= 141440

Cost Assigned To Ending Work In Process $66650

Conversion = 4300* 1.9=  8170

Transferred in Units = 2.72 * 21500= 58,480

C. Total Costs Assigned = Transferred Out + Ending = <u>$334970</u>

d.  Conversion cost assigned to the ending work in process: $8170

Conversion = 4300* 1.9=  8170

<em>We see the difference between the weighted average and FIFO method is that the FIFO method only accounts for the current period costs not the total the costs.Where as the weighted method includes all the costs from preceeding department and also current costs.</em>

Conversion cost per equivalent unit during March

                  Total Conversion Costs/ Total Equivalent Units Conversion
