Answer 1

Answer:

Department S

The total cost of units completed during the period were:______.

= $113,325

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Units started during the period = 10,000

Material cost of units started = $70,000

Units completed = 7,500 units

Units in ending WIP = 2,500 units

Equivalent units:                 Materials      Conversion

Started and completed       7,500             7,500

Ending WIp                          2,500                950 (2,500 * 38%)

Total equivalent units       10,000              8,450

Cost of production:     Materials      Conversion    Total

Units started               $70,000       $68,500      $138,500

Equivalent units            10,000             8,450

Cost per equivalent     $7.00               $8.11

Cost of units completed:

Materials    $52,500 (7,500 * $7)

Conversion  60,825 (7,500 * $8.11)

Total costs $113,325
