Question

The Smelting Department of Kiner Company has the following production data for November. Production: Beginning work in process 3,700 units that are 100% complete as to materials and 29% complete as to conversion costs; units transferred out 9,300 units; and ending work in process 9,100 units that are 100% complete as to materials and 40% complete as to conversion costs. Compute the equivalent units of production for (a) materials and (b) conversion costs for the month of Novomber.

Answer 1

Answer:

(A) 18,400 units

(B) 12,940 units

Explanation:

The computation of the equivalent units of production for

(A) Material =  Units transferred out +  Ending work in process

                   = 9,300 units + 9,100 units

                   = 18,400 units

(B) Conversion  =  Units transferred out +  (Ending work in process × conversion percentage)

= 9,300 units + 9,100 units × 40%

= 9,300 units + 3,640 units

= 12,940 units
