Answer:
1. Calculate the first production department's equivalent units of production for materials and conversion for May.
- materials = 275,000 + 50,000 = 325,000
- conversion = 275,000 + 12,500 = 287,500
2. Compute the first production department's cost per equivalent unit for materials and conversion for May.
- materials = $169,000 / 325,000 = $0.52
- conversion = $253,000 / 287,500 = $0.88
3. Compute the first production department's cost of ending work in process inventory for materials, conversion, and in total for May.
- materials = 50,000 x $0.52 = $26,000
- conversion = 12,500 x $0.88 = $11,000
- total = $37,000
4. Compute the first production department's cost of the units transferred to the next production department for materials, conversion, and in total for May.
- materials = 275,000 x $0.52 = $143,000
- conversion = 275,000 x $0.88 = $242,000
- total = $385,000
Explanation:
Beginning WIP 70,000 units
materials $56,100
conversion $16,400
Ending WIP 50,000 units
100% completed for materials (50,000 EU)
25% completed for conversion (12,500 EU)
units started 255,000
total units transferred out 275,000
materials cost added during the period = $112,900
conversion cost added during the period = $236,600
