Exercise 21-3 The ledger of American Company has the following work in process account. Work in Process—Painting 5/1 Balance 3,590 5/31 Transferred out ? 5/31 Materials 5,160 5/31 Labor 2,530 5/31 Overhead 1,380 5/31 Balance ? Production records show that there were 400 units in the beginning inventory, 30% complete, 1,600 units started, and 1,700 units transferred out. The beginning work in process had materials cost of $2,040 and conversion costs of $1,550. The units in ending inventory were 40% complete.

Part 1
units in process at May 31 = 300 units
Explanation :
Work in process May 1 = 400
+ started into production = 1600
Total units to be accounted for = 2000
- transferred out = 1700
Work in process May 31 = 300
Part 2
unit materials cost for May = total materials cost / equivalent units for materials = (2040+5160) / (1700+300) = 7200/2000 = $3.60
Part 3
unit conversion cost for May = total conversation costs / equivalent units for conversion = (1550+2530+1380) / (1700+(300*40%)) = 5460 / 1820 = $3.00
Part 4
The total cost of units transferred out in May = $11220 (1700*(3.60 + 3.00))
Part 5
Work in process
Materials (300*3.60) =1080
Conversion (120*3)=360
Total = 1440
Work in process $1440
