Answer #1

Ans:

1. Pedraza Corp. spend on direct labor in October = Conversion Cost- Overhead Cost

=> 189,648-85,200

=> $104,448

2. weighted average cost per equivalent unit for direct material, direct labor and Overhead

Cost per EUP{ for Direct Materials}= Beginning Work in progress Inventory+ Current Direct Material Cost/Equivalent unit Production Cost of Direct materials

=> {26,232+158,688}/53,600

=> {184,920/53,600

=> $3.45

Cost per EUP{ for Direct Labor}= beginning Work in Progress Inventory+ Current Direct labor Cost/Equivalent unit production Cost of Direct labor

=> {19,504+104,448}/48,800

=> 123,952/48,800

=> $2.54

Cost per EUP{ for Overhead}= Beginning Work in process Inventory+ Current Direct overhead Cost/Equivalent unit production cost of overhead cost

=> {20,640+85,200}/42,000

=> 105,840/42,000

=> $2.52

On April 1 WIP BB is 30 units, 170 units were started in April. WIP Balance on April 30th was 100 units. Direct Material Cost for the month was $1,500.00 and Conversion Cost (Labor/OVHD) was $11,000 (WIP had a $0 BB for both Direct Material and Conversion Cost). Direct Material was 50% complete and Conversion was 10% complete. Using your Process Costing Equivalent Unit Calculations the amount of WIP transferred to Department B would be? $14,000 $50,000 $71,000 $11,000
