Question

Talamoto Co. manufactures a single product that goes through two processes — mixing and cooking. The following data pertains to the Mixing Department for September.
Work-in-process Inventory Sept. 1 28,000 units
Conversion complete 70%
Work-in-process inventory Sept. 30 16,000 units
Conversion complete 50%
Units started into production in Sept. 72,000
Units completed and transferred out ? units
Costs
Work-in-process inventory Sept.1 $120,000
Material P 110,000
Material Q 165,000
Conversion
Costs added in September
Material P $180,000
Material Q 165,000
Conversion 354,800
Material P is added at the beginning of work in the Mixing Department. Material Q is also added in the Mixing Department, but not until units of product are forty percent completed with regard to conversion. Conversion costs are incurred uniformly during the process.
Total equivalent units for Material P under the weighted-average method are calculated to be:
______________.
A. 100,000 equivalent units.
B. 92,000 equivalent units.
C. 84,000 equivalent units.
D. 72,000 equivalent units.
E. 68,000 equivalent units.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 100,000 equivalent units

Explanation:

Calculation for what the Total equivalent units for Material P under the weighted-average method are calculated to

First step is to calculate the Unit transferred out

Unit transferred out = 28,000+72,000-16,000

Unit transferred out =84,000

Now let calculate the Total equivalent units for Material P

Total Equivalent unit of material P = 84,000+16,000

Total Equivalent unit of material P = 100,000

Therefore the Total equivalent units for Material P under the weighted-average method are calculated to 100,000 equivalent units
