Question

The Marshall Company has a process costing system. All materials are added when the process is first begun. At the beginning of September, there were no units of product in process. During September 63,000 units were started; 6,300 of these were still in process at the end of September and were 3/5 finished. The equivalent units of material in September were:

Answer 1

Answer:

The equivalent units of material in September were:  63,000

Explanation:

Step 1 Calculate the Units Completed and Transferred to Finished Goods

Units Completed and Transferred to Finished Goods = Units Started - Units in Closing Work In Process

                                                                                        = 63,000-6,300

                                                                                        = 56,700

Step 2 Calculate equivalent units of material in September

Note : All materials are added when the process is first begun. This means that BOTH the Units Completed and Transferred to Finished Goods and Units in Closing Work In Process are 100 % complete in terms of materials

Materials :

Units Completed and Transferred to Finished Goods   = 56,700

Units in Closing Work In Process                                     =   6,300

Total                                                                                   = 63,000
