Zee Corporation uses Weighted Average Method for costing purposes. Zee adds all material at the beginning of the process. Zee had 40,000 units 25% completed at the beginning of the period, 76,000 units were started during the period, and 50,000 units were 20% completed at the end of the period. Zee’s equivalent units for direct materials would be:
A 116000
B 76000
C. 66000
D 146,000
The correct answer is A) 116000
Calculations
Firstly we have to calculate the units completed and transafered
= beginng inventory + units started - units in ending inventory
= 40000 + 76000 - 50000
= 66000 Units
Equivalent units for material
= (units completed and transferred *100 %) + ( units in ending inventory *100 %)
= (66000*100%) + (50000*100%)
= 66000+50000
= 116000 Units
Thus the correct answer is A) 116000
Note as it is mentioned that material are added at the beginning of the process, that is why ending inventory is 100 % completed with respect to material cost.
