Question

During April, the first production department of a process manufacturing system completed its work on 300,000 units of a product and transferred them to the next department. Of these transferred units, 60,000 were in process in the production department at the beginning of April, and 240,000 were started and completed in April. April's beginning inventory units were 60% complete with respect to materials and 40% complete with respect to conversion. At the end of April, 82,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 80% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to conversion.The production department had $850,368 of direct materials and $649,296 of conversion costs charged to it during April. Also, its beginning inventory of $167,066 consists of $118,472 of direct materials cost and $48,594 of conversion costs.Using the FIFO method, prepare the direct materials cost and the conversion cost per equivalent unit and assign April's costs to the department’s output. (Round "Cost per EUP" to 2 decimal places.)

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

                Equivalent Units of Production-FIFO Method

Particular  units Material (%) Conversion (%) Material EUP Conversion EUP

Completed periods of beginning units 60,000 0.40 0.60 24,000 36,000

Started and completed units 240,000 100 100 240,000 240,000

Ending work in process units 82,000 0.80 0.30 65,600 24,600

Equivalent units of production 382,000   329,600 300,600

Particular               Material cost             Conversion cost  

Total cost incurred $850,368             $649,296

Equivalent units of production 329,600           300,600

Cost per unit of production  $2.58               $2.16

         ($850,368 ÷ 329,600)   ($649,296 ÷ 300,600)

                                  Total Costs for Accounts
