Question

25. A firm that uses weighted average process costing has 400 units in Beginning Inventory that are 80% complete. During the period, an additional 8000 units are started. 600 units are left in Ending Inventory at the end of the period, which are 80% complete. Beginning Inventory has $11,080 allocated to it, and current costs are $80,000. All inputs are added simultaneously. Required: Calculate the costs allocated to Finished Goods and Ending Inventory.

Answer 1

Answer:

Finished goods = $85,800

Ending inventory = $5,280

Explanation:

beginning WIP 400 units

$11,080

8000 units started

$80,000

units finished and transferred out = 8,000 + 400 - 600 = 7,800

ending inventory 600 units

80% complete

equivalent units = 7,800 + (600 x 80%) = 8,280

total costs = $91,080

cost per equivalent unit = $91,080 / 8,280 = $11

Finished goods = 7,800 x $11 = $85,800

Ending inventory = 480 x $11 = $5,280
