Required:
a-1. Compute the equivalent units for conversion costs.
a-2. Compute the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs.
a-3. What was the conversion cost of work-in-process inventory in the Oils Division at December 31?
b. What were the conversion costs per equivalent unit produced last period and this period, respectively?
Units started and completed = 412000-112000 = 300000 units
Ending WIP = 112000+552000-412000 = 252000
a-1 Equivalent units = Beginning WIP x (100% - Completion) +
units started and completed + Ending WIP x Completion
= 112000 x 20% + 300000 + 252000 x 60% = 473600 units
a-2 Cost per equivalent unit = $2628480 / 473600 = $5.55 per unit
a-3 Ending WIP COnversion = 252000 x 60% x 5.55 = $839160
b
Conversion cost per unit last period = $443520 / (112000x80%) =
$4.95 per unit
Cost per equivalent unit this period = $2628480 / 473600 = $5.55
per unit
