Conlon Chemicals manufactures paint thinner. Information on the work in process follows: Beginning inventory, 38,000 partially complete gallons. Transferred out, 210,000 gallons. Ending inventory (materials are 22 percent complete; conversion costs are 11 percent complete). Started this month, 241,000 gallons. Assume that beginning inventory is 50 percent complete with respect to materials and 30 percent complete with respect to conversion costs.
Required: a. Compute the equivalent units for materials using FIFO.
b. Compute the equivalent units for conversion costs using FIFO.
Ending inventory units | 69000 | =38000+241000-210000 |
a | ||
To complete beginning inventory | 19000 | =38000*(1-50%) |
Units started and completed | 172000 | =210000-38000 |
Ending inventory | 15180 | =69000*22% |
Equivalent units for materials | 206180 | |
b | ||
To complete beginning inventory | 26600 | =38000*(1-30%) |
Units started and completed | 172000 | =210000-38000 |
Ending inventory | 7590 | =69000*11% |
Equivalent units for conversion costs | 206190 |
