Question

For each of the following independent cases, use FIFO costing to determine the information requested. Required: a. In the beginning inventory, 5,000 units were 40 percent complete with respect to materials. During the period, 40,000 units were transferred out. Ending inventory consisted of 7,000 units that were 70 percent complete with respect to materials. How many units were started and completed during the period

Answer 1

Answer:

$35,000

Explanation:

Units started and completed means that out of the units completed and transferred, how many were started during the period. This figure is calculated in physical terms only. So there is no need to express any units in their equivalents.

So, this gives us an idea of how to calculate this :

Units started and completed = Units Completed and Transferred - Units in Beginning Work in Process

therefore,

Units started and completed = 40,000 units - 5,000 units = $35,000
