Question

During March, the production department of a process operations system completed and transferred to finished goods 25,000 units that were in process at the beginning of March and 110,000 that were started and completed in March. March's beginning inventory units were 100% complete with respect to materials and 55% complete with respect to conversion. At the end of March, 30,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 100% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to conversion. Compute the number of equivalent units with respect to both materials and conversion respectively for March using the FIFO method.

Answer 1

Answer:

140,000 units and 130,250 units

Explanation:

The computations are shown below:

For Material cost:

= Transferred units × percentage of completion + ending work in process inventory units × percentage of completion

=  110,000 units × 100% + 30,000 units × 100%

=  110,000 units + 30,000 units

= 140,000 units

For Conversion cost:

= Beginning work in progress units × remaining completion + Transferred units × percentage of completion + ending work in process inventory units × percentage of completion

= 25,000 units × 45% + 110,000 units × 100% + 30,000 units × 30%

= 11,250 units + 110,000 units + 9,000 units

= 130,250 units

The remaining percentage would be

= 100% - 55%

= 45%
