Question

A1 Corp. uses the FIFO method for its process costing calculations. Beginning inventory in the mixing processing center consisted of 5,000 units, 65% complete with respect to conversion costs. Ending work in process inventory consisted of 4,000 units, 50% complete with respect to conversion costs. If 19,000 units were transferred to the next processing center during the period, the equivalent units for conversion costs would be:

Answer 1

Answer:

17,750 units

Explanation:

Calculation of equivalent units for conversion costs - FIFO

To finish Opening Work in Process  (5,000 units x 35%)            1,750

Started and Completed [(19,000 units  - 5,000 units) x 100%]  14,000

Ending Work in Process (4,000 units x 50%)                              2,000

Equivalent units of production                                                     17,750

therefore,

the equivalent units for conversion costs would be 17,750 units
