Answer:
$146,443.80
Explanation:
Step 1 : Equivalent Units of Production
<em>FIFO method is interested with Units worked on during the Production Period. Therefore make sure you begin by finishing Opening Work in Process Units</em>.
1. Materials
To Finish Work in Process Inventory (16,300 x 40%) 6,520
Started and Completed (100,600 - 16,300) x 100 % 84,300
Ending Inventory (24,600 x 90%) 22,140
Equivalent units of Production 112,960
2. Conversion Cost
To Finish Work in Process Inventory (16,300 x 80%) 13,040
Started and Completed (100,600 - 16,300) x 100 % 84,300
Ending Inventory (24,600 x 40%) 9,840
Equivalent units of Production 107,180
Step 2 : Cost per equivalent unit
<em>FIFO method is only interested in Costs incurred during the Production Period, therefore Cost in Beginning Inventory must be ignored as these were accounted for in previous year.</em>
Cost per equivalent unit = Total Cost ÷ Total Equivalent Units
Materials = $470,970 ÷ 112,960 = $4.17
Conversion Costs = ($190,740 + $399,080) ÷ 107,180 = $5.50
Step 3 : Cost in the ending Work-in-Process Inventory
Work-in-Process Inventory = Material Cost + Conversion Cost
= 22,140 x $4.17 + 9,840 x $5.50
= $146,443.80
Conclusion :
The total costs in the ending Work-in-Process Inventory assuming Bentley uses first-in, first-out (FIFO) process costing is $146,443.80
