<h3>What is the weighted-average method?</h3>
The weighted-average method of accounting for inventory considers the weight (units) of each cost so that their relative importance or weights are factored into the computations.
<h3>Question Completion with Data and Calculations:</h3>
Production data:
Pounds in process May 1: materials 100% complete: conversion 90% complete = 74,000
Pounds started into production during May = 390,000
Pounds completed and transferred out = 430,000
Pounds in process, May 31: materials 70% complete: conversion 30% complete = 34,000
Total costs of production:
Cost data: Materials Conversion Total Cost
Work in process inventory, May 1: $98,800 $44,000 $142,800
Cost added during May: $513,830 $242,130 755,960
Total costs $612,630 $286,130 $899,760
