Question

. Department C is the first stage of Cohen Corporation's production cycle. The following equivalent unit information is available for conversion costs for the month of September: Beginning work-in-process inventory (20% complete) 85,000 Started in September 1,430,000 Completed in September and transferred to Department D 1,210,000 Ending work-in-process inventory (80% complete) 305,000 Using the FIFO method, the equivalent units for the conversion cost calculation are:

Answer 1

Answer:

1,657,000 units

Explanation:

The FIFO method is concerned with the work done in the current production period.

Equivalent Units of Production - Conversion Costs

To finish Opening Work In Process ( 85,000 x 80%)              68,000

Started and Completed [(1,430,000 - 85,000) x 100%]       1,345,000

Ending Work In Process 305,000 x 80%                               244,000

Total Equivalent Units of Production - Conversion Costs   1,657,000

therefore,

the equivalent units for the conversion cost calculation are:  1,657,000 units
