The following production data were taken from the records of the finishing department for June:
Inventory in process, June 1, 25% completed | 340 | units |
Transferred to finished goods during June | 5,100 | units |
Equivalent units of production during June | 5,495 | units |
Determine the number of equivalent units of production in the June 30, finishing department inventory, assuming that the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories. The completion percentage of 25% applies to both direct materials and conversion costs.
a.720 units
b.576 units
c.480 units
d.384 units
Solution:
Equivalent unit of production during june = 5495
Total unit transferred to finished goods during june = 5100 units
Units completed from beginning WIP = 340 units
Unit started and completed during the period = 5100 - 340 = 4760 units
Equivalnt unit of beginning WIP completed during the period = 340*75% = 255 units
Equivalent units in ending inventory of finishing department = Total equivalent units - Equivalent units of beginning WIP Completed during june - Equivalent units of unit started and completed during june
= 5495 - 255 - 4760 = 480 units
Hence option c is correct.
