Transferred out of Filling (completed) 45,000 48,600
Inventory in process, end of period 3,000 1,500
Total units to be assigned costs 48,000 50,100
The beginning work in process inventory had a cost of $2,380. Determine the cost of completed and transferred-out production and the ending work in process inventory. If required, round to the nearest dollar.

Completed and transferred-out production $
Inventory in process, ending $

Answer 1

Answer:

Part 1

Direct material cost per equivalent units = $194,560 / 25,600 ounces

Direct material cost per equivalent units = $ 7.60 per ounce

Conversion Cost per equivalent units = $98,340 / 29,800 ounce

Conversion Cost per equivalent units = $3.30 per ounce

Part 2

Completed and Transferred out of production = $2380 + (45,000* $2.20) + (3,600 * $0.65) + (45,000 * $0.65)

= $2,380 + $99,000 + $2,340 + $29,250

= $132,970

Inventory in process, ending = (3000 * $2.20) + (1500 * $0.65)

= $6,600 + $975

= $7,575
