Question

Mccabe Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing. The following data pertain to its Assembly Department for September. Percent Complete Units Materials Conversion Work in process, September 1 1,200 55 % 10 % Units started into production during September 8,600 Units completed during September and transferred to the next department 7,700 Work in process, September 30 2,100 75 % 25 % Required: Compute the equivalent units of production for both materials and conversion costs for the Assembly Department for September using the weighted-average method.

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the equivalent units of production for both materials and conversion costs is given below:

For material

= Units completed + ending work in process × completion percentage

= 7,700 + 2,100 × 0.75

= 9,275 units

And, for conversion cost

= Units completed + ending work in process × completion percentage

= 7,700 + 2,100 × 0.25

= 8,225 units
