The blending department had the following data for the month of March:
Units in BWIP | — |
Units completed | 21,600 |
Units in EWIP (10% complete) | 2,250 |
Total manufacturing costs | $106,943 |
Required:
1. What is the output in equivalent units for
March?
equivalent units
2. What is the unit manufacturing cost for
March? Note: Round your answer to the nearest cent.
$per unit
3. Compute the cost of goods transferred out
for March.
$
4. Calculate the value of March's EWIP.
$
Solution:
1. What is the output in equivalent units for March?
Output in equivalent units for March = Units completed + Ending work in process
= 21,600 + 225
Output in equivalent units for March = 21,825 units.
.
2. What is the unit manufacturing cost for March?
Unit manufacturing cost for March = Total manufacturing costs / Equivalent units for March
= $106,943 / 21,825
Unit manufacturing cost for March = $4.90 per unit
.
3. Compute the cost of goods transferred out for March.
Cost of goods transferred out for March = Unit manufacturing cost * Units completed
= $4.90 * 21,600
Cost of goods transferred out for March = $105,840
.
4. Calculate the value of March's EWIP.
Value of March's EWIP = Ending work in process * Unit manufacturing cost
= 225 * $4.90
Value of March's EWIP = $1,102.5
