[The following information applies to the questions
displayed below.]
Zia Co. makes flowerpots from recycled plastic in two departments,
molding and packaging. At the beginning of the month, the molding
department has 3,000 units in inventory, 70% complete as to
materials. During the month, the molding department started 23,000
units. At the end of the month, the molding department had 4,500
units in ending inventory, 80% complete as to materials. Units
completed in the molding department are transferred into the
packaging department.
Cost information for the molding department for the month
follows:
Beginning work in process inventory (direct materials) | $ | 2,200 |
Direct materials added during the month | 37,900 | |
QS 20-18 Weighted average: Computing equivalent units and cost per EUP (direct materials) LO C2, C3
Using the weighted-average method, compute the molding department’s (a) equivalent units of production for materials and (b) cost per equivalent unit of production for materials for the month. (Round "cost per equivalent unit of production" to 2 decimal places.)
2.
QS 20-19 Weighted average: Assigning costs to output LO C3
Using the weighted-average method, assign direct materials costs
to the molding department’s output—specifically, the units
transferred out to the packaging department and the units that
remain in process in the molding department at month-end.
(Do not round intermediate
calculations.)
