Answer:
<u>cost to be accounted for:</u>
beginning cost: 180,000
added cost 756,000
total cost <em> 936,000</em>
<u>cost accounted for:</u>
ending WIP 30,000 x 5.2 = 156,000
trasnsferred-out: 150,000 x 5.2 = 780,000
total cost accounted for <em> 936,000</em>
Explanation:
150,000 completed
50,000 at 60%
weighted average equivalent unit:
complete + percetage of completion ending WIP
150,000 + 50,000 x 60% = 180,000
Cost per unit:
936,000 / 180,000 = 5.2 dollar per unit
we should match the total cost pool with the ending WIP and trasnferred out units
