Answer:
1. First production department's equivalent units of production for May for:
Materials = 185,000 units
Conversion = 178,000 units
2. First production department's cost per equivalent unit for May for:
Materials = $0.30
Conversion = $2.00
3. First production department's cost of ending work in process inventory for May for:
Materials = $52,500
Conversion = $350,000
Total = $402,500
4. First production department's cost of the units transferred to the next production department for May for:
Materials = $3,000
Conversion = $6,000
Total = $9,000
Explanation:
Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the reproduced question with the sorted data.
The explanation to the answer is now given as follows:
1. Calculate the first production department's equivalent units of production for materials and conversion for May.
Note: See the part 1 of the attached excel file for the calculations:
First production department's equivalent units of production for May for:
Materials = 185,000 units
Conversion = 178,000 units
2. Compute the first production department's cost per equivalent unit for materials and conversion for May.
Note: See the part 2 of the attached excel file for the calculations:
First production department's cost per equivalent unit for May for:
Materials = $0.30
Conversion = $2.00
3. Compute the first production department's cost of ending work in process inventory for materials, conversion, and in total for May.
First production department's cost of ending work in process inventory for May for:
Materials = Cost per equivalent unit for material * Units transferred to the next production department = $0.30 * 175,000 units = $52,500
Conversion = cost per equivalent unit for conversion * Units transferred to the next production department = $2.00 * 175,000 units = $350,000
Total = $52,500 + $350,000 = $402,500
4. Compute the first production department's cost of the units transferred to the next production department for materials, conversion, and in total for May.
First production department's cost of the units transferred to the next production department for May for:
Materials = Cost per equivalent unit for material * Material ending work in process = $0.30 * 10,000 units = $3,000
Conversion = cost per equivalent unit for conversion * Conversion ending work in process = $2.00 * 3,000 units = $6,000
Total = $3,000 + $6,000 = $9,000
Note: See part 1 of the attached excel file for the calculation of ending work in process of Material and Conversion.
