Question

29.Dante Carpet Manufacturing Inc. uses a process costing system and calculates per-unit costs using the weighted average method. The company has two sequential production departments, Extrusion and Weaving. The following data relates to production for the Extrusion department for its Rayon carpet brand for the month of January. Note that since carpet is sold by the square yard, each “unit” refers to a square yard of carpet:
Extrusion department:
Beginning Work in Process Inventory: 300 units, 40% complete with respect to conversion
Ending Work in Process Inventory: 250 units, 20% complete with respect to conversion
All direct materials are added at the beginning of the extrusion process, and conversion costs are assumed to be incurred uniformly. No new materials are added in the weaving process—just additional conversion costs.
5,450 units were started in the Extrusion Department during the month

How many units were completed/ transferred from the Extrusion department to the Weaving Department?

Answer 1

Unit completed and transferred = Beginning work in process+Unit started-Ending work in process

                                                    = 300+5450-250

Unit completed and transferred out = 5500 unit
