Zee adds direct materials when the process is 70% complete. If Zee had 500 units, 60% completed, in process at the beginning of the period, 6,000 units were completed and transferred during the period, and 600 units were 30% completed at the end of the period, what was the number of equivalent units of Direct Material for the period using FIFO?
Select one:
a. 6,180
b. 6,500
c. 6,680
d. 6,000
The correct answer is D) 6000
Calculation
Equivalent units for direct material
= (beginning inventory *100 %) + (units started and completed *100 %) + ( units in ending inventory *0%)
= (500*100%) + ((6000-500)*100%) + (600*0%)
= 500 +5500
= 6000 Units
Note
as ending inventory in 30 % completed so no direct material has been added to it as it completed less than 70 % at which direct material is added. Thats why also the beginning inventory has been also completed in respect to direct material 100 % during the period.
