The following information pertains to the Moline Facility for the month of May (all materials are added at the beginning of the process):
Units | Material Costs | |||
Beginning work in process | 90,000 | $ | 34,000 | |
Started in May | 270,000 | 102,000 | ||
Units completed | 270,000 | |||
Ending work in process | 90,000 | |||
Required:
Compute the cost per equivalent unit for materials using the FIFO method. (Round "Cost per equivalent unit" answer to 2 decimal places.)
In the given question, we have to calculate cost per equivalent unit for material using FIFO Method
Statement for equivalent unit by FIFO Method
Particular physical unit % completion Eq. unit
Beginning inventory 90000 0% 0
Unit started and comp. 180000 100% 180000
Ending inventory 90000 100 % 90000
Total 270000
Now we can calculate cost per equivalent unit for material
= cost incurred during the month ÷ equivalent unit
= $102000 ÷ 270000
= $0.38
Thus the correct answer is cost per equivalent unit = $0.38
Note material are added at the beginning of the process so they are 100 % complete. For ending inventory and 0% for beginning inventory.
