Answer 1

1.Compute the equivalent units of production for materials and conversion costs for the month of October.

	Whole unit	Material	Conversion cost
Transferred out	23000	23000	23000
Ending work in process	12000	12000	2400
Total	35000	35000	25400

2.Compute the unit costs for materials and conversion costs.

	Total	Per unit
Materials	140000	4
Conversion cost	127000	5
Total	267000	9

3. Determine the costs to be assigned to the units transferred out and ending work in process.

Cost to be accounted for		Total
Transferred out (23000*9)		207000
Work in process
Materials (12000*4)	48000
Conversion cost (2400*5)	12000	60000
Total Cost to be accounted for		267000
