Question

ssume the following information: Milling Department Materials Conversion Total Cost of beginning work in process inventory $ 10,000 $ 15,000 $ 25,000 Costs added during the period 291,600 390,500 682,100 Total cost $ 301,600 $ 405,500 $ 707,100 Assume the equivalent units of production for materials and conversion, when using the weighted-average method, are 5,200 units and 5,000 units, respectively. If the equivalent units in ending work in process inventory for materials and conversion are 400 units and 200 units, respectively, then what is the total cost of ending work in process for the Milling Department

Answer 1

Answer:

the total cost of ending work in process is $39,420

Explanation:

The computation of the total cost of ending work in process is shown below:

Equivalent cost per unit

Material = $301,600 ÷ 5,200 units = $58 per unit

Conversion = $405,500 ÷ 5,000 units = $81.10 per unit

Now ending work in process is

= 400 units × $58 + 200 units × $81.10

= $23,200 + $16,220

= $39,420

Hence, the  total cost of ending work in process is $39,420
