Question

Crimp Corporation uses the FIFO method in its process costing system. Department A had 10,000 units in process at the beginning of January that were 40% complete with respect to conversion costs. All materials are added at the beginning of the process in Department A. The January 1 work in process inventory in Department A contained $20,000 in materials cost and $11,000 in conversion cost. During January, materials costs were $2.00 per equivalent unit and conversion costs were $2.50 per equivalent unit. All of the units in the beginning work in process inventory were completed and transferred out during the month. What was the total cost attached to these units when they were transferred to the next department

Answer 1

Answer: $41,000

Explanation:

40% of conversion for the beginning work in process so 60% is left.

= 40% * 10,000 * 2.5 ( cost of conversion)

= $10,000

All the units were finished and transferred out so the cost attached will be;

= Materials cost + Conversion cost + Conversion cost for the beginning inventory

= 20,000 + 11,000 + 10,000

= $41,000
