Question

Beginning inventory for the month contained 3,000 units that were 35% complete with respect to materials. 57,000 units were completed and transferred out during the month. 5,500 units were in ending inventory, 10% complete with respect to materials. The weighted average equivalent units of production for materials for the month would be

Answer 1

Answer: 57,550 units

Explanation:

When using the weighted average method, the units completed and transferred out are assumed to include the opening inventory.

The weighted average equivalent units are therefore:

= Units completed and transferred out + Equivalent ending units

= 57,000 + (10% * 5,500)

= 57,000 + 550

= 57,550 units
