Question

g Pix Company has the following production data for March: no beginning work in process, units started and completed 29,000, and ending work in process 3,300 units that are 100% complete for materials and 40% complete for conversion costs. Pix uses the FIFO method to compute equivalent units. If unit materials cost is $7 and unit conversion cost is $10. The total costs to be assigned are $529,300, prepare the cost section of the production cost report for Pix Company using the FIFO approach.

Outputs

                                                             Units         Costs

Costs assigned to completed units 29,000     $493,000

Units Still in Process                            3,330       $36,630

Total                                                   32,330     $529,630

Explanation:

Step 1 : Equivalent Units of Production

Materials

To Finish Work in Process                                              0

Started and Completed (29,000 x 100%)                29,000

Ending Work in Process (3,330 x 100%)                    3,330

Equivalent units of Production in Materials             32,330

Conversion Costs

To Finish Work in Process                                             0

Started and Completed (29,000 x 100%)               29,000

Ending Work in Process (3,330 x 100%)                    1,332

Equivalent units of Production in Materials             30,332

Step 2 : Costs assigned to completed units and units still in process

Costs assigned to completed units = Units Completed x total units cost

                                                           = 29,000 x $17

                                                           = $493,000

Units Still in Process = Materials Cost + Conversion Costs

                                   = 3,330 x $7 + 1,332 x $10

                                   = $36,630
