Question

Warren Industries uses a process-costing system for its single product, which is manufactured from Material X and Material Y. X and Y are introduced to the product as follows: Material X: Added at the beginning of manufacturing Material Y: Added at the 80% stage of completion The company started and completed 74,000 units during the period, and had an ending work-in-process inventory amounting to 17,000 units, 30% complete. Which of the following choices correctly expresses the total equivalent units of production for Material X and Material Y?Material X Material YA. 87,600 79,100 B. 87,600 87,600 C. 91,000 74,000 D. 91,000 79,100 E. 91,000 87,600

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 91,000 74,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the choices that correctly expresses the total equivalent units of production for Material X and Material Y

Calculation for Material X using this formula

Material X = Started and completed + Ending Work-in-process inventory

Let plug in the formula

Material X = 74,000 units + 17,000 units

Material X = 91,000 units

Therefore Material X will be 91,000 units

Calculation for Material Y

Based on the information given Material Y will be 74,000 units reason been that Y is added at the 80% point while the current point on the other hand is 30%.

Therefore Material Y will be 74,000 units.
