Question

A department adds raw materials to a process at the beginning of the process and incurs conversion costs uniformly throughout the process. For the month of March, there were 5,000 units in the beginning work in process inventory; 70,000 units were started into production in March; and there were 25,000 units that were 60% complete in the ending work in process inventory at the end of March. What were the equivalent units of production for conversion costs for the month of March

Answer 1

Answer:

75,000 equivalent units

Explanation:

Calculation to determine What were the equivalent units of production for conversion costs for the month of March

First step is to calculate completed and transferred units

Completed and transferred units =5,000 + 70,000 − 25,000

Completed and transferred units = 50,000

Now let determine the equivalent units for direct materials cost

Using this formula

Equivalent units for direct materials cost =100% of the completed units + 100% of the ending inventory

Let plug in the formula

Equivalent units for direct materials cost= (50,000 × 100%) + (25,000 × 100%)

Equivalent units for direct materials cost=50,000+25,000

Equivalent units for direct materials cost=75,000

Therefore the equivalent units of production for conversion costs for the month of March is 75,000
