Question

Peach Company uses a weighted-average process-costing system. Company records disclosed that the firm completed 40,000 units during the month and had 10,000 units in process at month-end, 20% complete. Conversion costs associated with the beginning work-in-process inventory amounted to $231,000, and amounts that relate to the current month totaled $966,000. If conversion is incurred uniformly throughout manufacturing, Peach's equivalent-unit cost is:_________
A. $23.00
B. $23.94
C. $24.15
D. $28.50
E. some other amount

Answer 1

Answer:

D. $28.50

Explanation:

Peach Equivalent-unit cost = Total Cost / Units

Peach Equivalent-unit cost = ($966000 + $231000) / (40000 units + (10000 units*20% completion))

Peach Equivalent-unit cost = $1197000 / (40000 units + 2000 units)

Peach Equivalent-unit cost = $1197000 / 42000 units

Peach Equivalent-unit cost = $28.50
