Jarvene Corporation uses the FIFO method in its process costing system. The following data are for the most recent month of operations in one of the company’s processing departments: Units in beginning inventory 410 Units started into production 4,330 Units in ending inventory 330 Units transferred to the next department 4,410 Materials Conversion Percentage completion of beginning inventory 70 % 30 % Percentage completion of ending inventory 90 % 50 % The cost of beginning inventory according to the company’s costing system was $7,863 of which $4,868 was for materials and the remainder was for conversion cost. The costs added during the month amounted to $181,956. The costs per equivalent unit for the month were: Materials Conversion Cost per equivalent unit $18.00 $23.00
Required:
1. Compute the total cost per equivalent unit for the month.
2. Compute the equivalent units of material and conversion in the ending inventory.
3. Compute the equivalent units of material and conversion that were required to complete the beginning inventory.
4. Compute the number of units started and completed during the month.
5. Compute the cost of ending work in process inventory for materials, conversion, and in total for the month.
6. Compute the cost of the units transferred to the next department for materials, conversion, and in total for the month.
1) Total Cost per unit equivalent unit = 18+23 = 41
2) Equivalent unit of ending inventory
Material | Conversion | |
Equivalent unit | 330*90% = 297 | 330*50% = 165 |
3) Equivalent unit of beginning inventory
Material | Conversion | |
Equivalent unit | 410*30% = 123 | 287 |
4) Unit started and completed = 4410-410 = 4000
5) Cost of ending WIP
Material | Conversion | Total | |
Cost of ending WIP | 297*18 = 5346 | 165*23 = 3795 | 9141 |
5) Cost of units transferred out
Material | Conversion | Total | |
Cost of unit transferred out | 4123*18+4868 = 79082 | 4287*23+2995 = 101596 | 180678 |
