Question

Muhares, which uses a process-costing system, adds material at the beginning of production and incurs conversion cost evenly throughout manufacturing. The following selected information was taken from the company's accounting records:
Total equivalent units of materials: 8,000
Total equivalent units of conversion: 7,400
Units started and completed during the period: 6,500
On the basis of this information, the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:__________
a) 80%.
b) 70%.
c) 60%.
d) 40%.
e) some other percentage not listed above.

Answer 1

Answer:

c). 60%

Explanation:

Calculation for what the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:

First step is to calculate the Units in process

Units in process = 8,000 - 6,500

Units in process= 1,500 units

Second step is to calculate Equivalent units of conversion for in process

Equivalent units of conversion for in process = 7,400 - 6,500

Equivalent units of conversion for in process= 900

Now let calculate the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion

Ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion=900 / 1,500

Ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion= 0.60*100

Ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion=60%

Therefore the the ending work-in-process inventory's stage of completion is:60%
