Suppose someone wants to sell a piece of land for cash. the selling of a piece of land represents turning econ

At the end of the financial year, manufacturing companies have to assign costs to the goods which they produced in that period. At year end, the production does not stop, therefore, there could be items still in production at reporting date. In order to give as accurate information as possible, the company has to cost the production items with an estimate of the total items produced. Equivalent units of production refer to the summation of items that have been started and completed during the reporting period and the items still undergoing production at their estimated stage of completion. This provides an approximation of the total units of production, had the incomplete items been counted as complete at their estimated stage of completion.

Example: if 3,000 units were started and completed during the period and 2,000 units were in closing inventory at 60% completion, then the total equivalent units of production would be equal to 4,200 units (3,000 + (2,000*60)).

Using the First in First Out Method:

Equivalent units of Production = Total units completed during the period + Units in Ending WIP

Note1: the question indicates the equivalent units of production for the <u>materials</u> in the Machining Department.

Materials are introduced at the beginning of the production process, making them 100% complete at the end of the period. Equivalent units of production for materials is therefore 12,600(8,600+4000)

Note2: 8,600 from the above calculation consists of:

Opening balance of 6,000 units at 100% completion - Materials

Started and completed during the period 2,600 units -Materials

4,000 units in the closing balance are 100% complete in terms of Materials

A firm's database showed that the average value of all inventory items for the year was $7,650. the cost of goods sold was rep

5 weeks
There are 52 weeks per year and since the company closes for 2 weeks per year, that means that the company does business for 50 weeks each year. During that year, the company sold goods that cost $76,500. And the average inventory was $7,650 which is $7,650 / $76,500 = 0.10 = 10% of the goods sold for the entire year. So the average inventory could allow the company to work for 10% of the year. And 10% of 50 is 5. Therefore the company had 5 weeks of supply on average in inventory.
