Conlon Chemicals manufactures paint thinner. Information on the
work in process follows:
Beginning inventory, 40,600 partially complete gallons.
Transferred out, 207,800 gallons.
Ending inventory (materials are 18 percent complete; conversion
costs are 8 percent complete).
Started this month, 235,500 gallons.
Required: a. Compute the equivalent units for materials using the weighted-average method. b. Compute the equivalent units for conversion costs using the weighted-average method.
Equivalent Units (Gallons) | ||
A | Materials | |
B | Conversion Costs |
Computation of Equivalent units of material and conversion cost using Weighted Average Methods:
Ending Inventory = Beginning Inventory + Started this month - Transferred out
= 40600 gallons + 235500 gallons - 207800 gallons
= 68300 gallons
A.
Equivalent units for Material = Units Transferred out + Ending Inventory x Percentage of completion
= 207800 gallons + 68300 gallons x 18%
= 207800 gallons + 12294 gallons
= 220094 gallons.
B.
Equivalent units for Conversion cost = Units Transferred out + Ending Inventory x Percentage of completion
= 207800 gallons + 68300 gallons x 8%
= 207800 gallons + 5464 gallons
= 213264 gallons.
