Weighted Average Method, Unit Cost, Valuation of Goods Transferred Out and Ending Work in Process
Holmes Products, Inc., produces plastic cases used for video cameras. The product passes through three departments. For April, the following equivalent units schedule was prepared for the first department:
Direct Materials | Conversion Costs | |||||||
Units completed | 25,000 | 25,000 | ||||||
Units, ending work in process × Percentage complete: |
||||||||
7,000 × 100% | 7,000 | — | ||||||
7,000 × 50% | — | 3,500 | ||||||
Equivalent units of output | 32,000 | 28,500 |
Costs assigned to beginning work in process: direct materials, $90,000; conversion costs, $25,125. Manufacturing costs incurred during April: direct materials, $102,000; conversion costs, $210,000. Holmes uses the weighted average method.
Required:
1. Compute the unit cost for April. If
required, round your answer to the nearest cent.
$ per equivalent unit
2. Determine the cost of ending work in process and the cost of goods transferred out.
Cost of ending work in process | $_______ |
Cost of goods transferred out | $_______ |
Material | Conversion | Total | ||
a | Beginning work in process | $90,000 | $25,125 | $115,125 |
b | Cost incurred during April | $102,000 | $210,000 | $312,000 |
c = (a+b) | Total cost | $192,000 | $235,125 | $427,125 |
d | Equivalent units of output | 32,000 | 28,500 | |
e = (c /d) | Cost per equivalent unit | $6 | $8.25 | $14.25 |
f = (Percentage complete * cost per equivalent unit) | Cost of ending work in process |
$42,000 (7,000*6) |
$28,875 (3,500 * 8.25) |
$70,875 |
g = (Units completed * e) | Cost of good transferred out |
$150,000 (25,000*6) |
$206,250 (25,000*8.25) |
$356,250 |
