Required: 1. Compute the cost of ending work in process inventory for materials, conversion, and in total. 2. Compute the cost of the units completed and transferred out for materials, conversion, and in total.

Answer 1

Answer:

Ending WIP inventory: 31,264

Complete and transferred-out 367,629‬

Explanation:

Ending WIP inventory:

we mutiply the equivalent units by the equivalent cost

materials 2,000 x 13.86 = 27,720

conversion   800 x 4.43 =  3,544

                            total     = 31,264

transferred units

as this are complete we can add up each cost component and do a single multiplication

13.86 + 4.43 = 18.29 cost for complete unit

20,100 x 18.29 = 367,629‬
