Question

The Richmond Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The company has only a single processing department. The company's ending work in process inventory on August 31 consisted of 18,000 units. The units in the ending work in process inventory were 100% complete with respect to materials and 60% complete with respect to labor and overhead. If the cost per equivalent unit for August was $2.75 for materials and $4.25 for labor and overhead, the total cost assigned to the ending work in process inventory was:

Answer 1

Answer:

$95,400

Explanation:

Step 1 : Find  the equivalent units of production in Ending Work in Progress

Materials = 18,000 x 100 % = 18,000 units

Conversion costs = 18,000 x 60 % = 10,800 units

Step 2 : Calculate the Cost of units in Ending Work in Progress

Cost of units in Ending Work in Progress = 18,000 x $2.75 + 10,800 x $4.25

                                                                    = $95,400

Conclusion :

The ending work in process inventory was $95,400.
