Question

he following production data were taken from the records of the Finishing Department for July: Inventory in process, July 1, 30% completed 5,000 units Transferred to finished goods during July 40,500 units Ending work in process during July, 40% completed 4,000 units Determine the total equivalent units for conversion costs, assuming that the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories. Assume that all direct materials are placed in process at the beginning of production.

Answer 1

Answer:

The total equivalent units for conversion costs is 40,600.

Explanation:

Under the first-in, first-out method, units that were incomplete for last year are the first to be completed, followed by units started during the year.

Calculation of the total equivalent units for conversion costs :

To Finish Opening Work In Process (5,000 × 70%) =   3,500

Started and Completed ((40,500 - 5,000) × 100 %) = 35,500

Closing Work In Process ( 4,000 × 40%)                  =    1,600

Total equivalent units for conversion costs             = 40,600

Conclusion :

The total equivalent units for conversion costs is 40,600.
