A firm that uses weighted average process costing has the following data:
Beginning Inventory (2,000 physical units):
Direct Materials: $2,500 100% complete
Conversion: $4,000 80% complete
Ending Inventory (8,000 physical units):
Direct Materials: 100% complete
Conversion: 0% complete
Current Costs:
Direct Materials: $45,500
Conversion: $76,000
Units started during the period 46,000
Units completed and transferred to finished goods 40,000
Required: Calculate the cost per unit for direct materials and conversion costs.
CONVERSION COSTS (5 pts):
Cost per unit of direct material
Total cost of direct material = 2500 + 45500
= 48000
Number of units of direct material = 2000 + 46000
= 48000
Cost per unit of direct material = 48000 / 48000
= $ 1 per unit
Cost per unit of conversion
Total cost of conversion = 4000 + 76000
= 80000
Equivalent units in beginning inventory = 2000 × 80%
= 1600
Equivalent units in production = 38000 + ( 2000 × 20%)
= 38400
Total units of conversion = 40000
Conversion cost per unit = 80000 / 40000
= $ 2 per unit
