Answer:
1.Total Equivalent Units Materials 471,600 Conversion 464,400
2. Cost Per Equivalent Unit Materials $ 1.33 Conversion $ 0.75
3. Cost of Ending Work In Process $ 39528
4. Cost Of Units Transferred Out = $ 936,000
5. Cost Materials $ 627 228 and Conversion $348,300

Weighted-Average Method
1. Equivalent Units
Particulars Units % of Completion Equivalent Units
Materials Conversion Materials Conversion
Transferred Out 450000 100 100 450,000 450,000
<u>Ending WIP 36000 60 40 21,600 14,400 </u>
<u>Total Equivalent Units 471,600 464,400</u>
Transferred Out units are calculated by adding Opening Inventory and production started and subtracting ending inventory units.
Transferred Out units = Opening Inventory+ production started -ending inventory units
Transferred Out units =76,000 + 410,00 - 36000= 450000 units.
2. Cost Per Equivalent Units
Materials Conversion
Cost Of Opening Inventory 117,900 53600
Cost Added 613,080 294,700
Total Costs <u> 624,980 348,300</u>
Equivalent Units 471,600 464,400
Cost per Equivalent Unit 624980/471600 348300/464400
$ 1.33 $ 0.75
3. Cost of Ending Work In Process $ 39528
Materials = 21600 * $ 1.33= $ 28728
Conversion = 14400 * $ 0.75= $10800
We multiply the equivalent number of units with the cost per unit to find the cost.
4. Cost Of Units Transferred Out = $ 936,000
Materials = 450 000 * $ 1.33= $ 598,500
Conversion = 450000 * $ 0.75 = $ 337,500
5. A Cost Reconciliation Report
Materials Conversion
Ending WIP $ 28728 $10800
<u>Transferred Out $ 598,500 $ 337,500</u>
<u>Total </u><em><u> 627 228**</u></em><u> 348,300</u>
These calculated costs reconcile with the costs given in the above data.
Materials Conversion
Cost Of Opening Inventory 117,900 53600
<u>Cost Added 613,080 294,700</u>
Total Costs <u> </u><em><u>624,980** </u></em><u> 348,300</u>
The difference is in the cost of materials which is actually <u> </u><em><u>624,980** and we found it out to be </u></em><u> </u><em><u> 627 228**</u></em><u> .</u> This is because we rounded the Cost per Equivalent Unit of material from $ 1.325 to $1.33
If we multiply 1.325 * 471,600 we get $ 624870 which is almost the same.
