Conversion costs are allocated evenly throughout production. Shiffon Electronics uses weightedaverage costing. The following information is available for the month of March 2020 for the Assembly department. Work in​ process, beginning inventory units Conversion costs ​(​% ​complete) Units started during March units Work in​ process, ending​ inventory: units Conversion costs ​(​% ​complete) The cost details for the month of March are as​ follows: Work in​ process, beginning inventory Direct materials Conversion costs Direct materials costs added during March Conversion costs added during March What are the equivalent units for direct materials and conversion​ costs, respectively, for​ March?

Answer 1

Answer:

1,100 units; 1,050 units

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the equivalent units for direct materials and conversion​ costs, respectively, for​ March

DIRECT MATERIALS CONVERSION COSTS L

Completed and transferred out

1,000 units 1,000 units

(300 units+800 units - 100 units)

Add Work in process, ending

100 units 50 units

(50% Complete*100 units=50 units)

Total equivalent units

1,100 units 1,050 units

Therefore the equivalent units for direct materials and conversion​ costs, respectively, for​ March will be 1,100 units; 1,050 units
