Answer:

Transferred To Department B costs= $ 57,620

Materials = $2.7 * 8,600= $ 23,220

Conversion Costs = $ 4* 8,600= $ 34,400

Explanation:

Units % of Completion EUP

Materials C.C Materials C.C

Transferred 8,600 100 100 8600 8600

WIP Ending 3,800 100 50 3800 1900

Total 12,400 12,400 10500

Materials Costs per equivalent Unit= $33,480/ 12400= $ 2.7

Conversion Costs per equivalent Unit= $42,000/ 10,500= $ 4

Transferred To Department B costs= $ 57,620

Materials = $2.7 * 8,600= $ 23,220

Conversion Costs = $ 4* 8,600= $ 34,400

Answer:

Transferred unti cost: 57,620 using weighted-average method

Explanation:

Weighted average is completed units plus work complete in ending inventory:

Started 12,400

Transferred 8,600

Ending 3,800

WIP equivalent units:

3,800 x 100% = 3,800

3,800 x 50% = 1,900

EU materials: 8,600 + 3,800 = 12,400

cost per EU 33,480 / 12,400 = 2.70

EU conversion: 8,600 + 1,900 = 10,500

cost per EU 42,000 / 10,500 = 4

Total unit cost 2.7 + 4 = 6.7

Transferred unti cost: 8,600 x 6.7 = 57,620
