Question

A department adds raw materials to a process at the beginning of the process and incurs conversion costs uniformly throughout the process. For the month of July, there were no units in the beginning work in process inventory; 60,000 units were started into production in July; and there were 15,000 units that were 40% complete in the ending work in process inventory at the end of July. What were the equivalent units of production for conversion costs for the month of July

Answer 1

Answer:

51,000

Explanation:

Beginning WIP 0

Started into Production (60,000+15,000)

Total Units 75,000

Transferred Out (60,000 – 15,000)

= 45,000 = 45,000 equivalent conversion units

Ending WIP 15,000

= 15,000 * .4 = 6,000

45,000+6000 =51,000

Total Units 75,000 = 51,000 conversion total equivalent units

Therefore the equivalent units of production for conversion costs for the month of July is 51,000
