Question

Department W had 2,220 units, one-third completed at the beginning of the period; 13,700 units were transferred to Department X from Department W during the period; and 1,300 units were one-half completed at the end of the period. Assume the completion ratios apply to direct materials and conversion costs. What is the equivalent units of production used to compute unit conversion cost on the cost of production report for Department W? Assume the company uses FIFO.

Answer 1

Equivalent Units : 13,610

Step-by-step explanation:

Beginning Inventory: 2,200 1/3 completion

Transferred o next department: 13,700

Ending Inventory: 1,300 1/2 completion

Equivalent Units

`Complete \: and \: Transferred + \: Ending \: Inventory* Completion - \: Begining \: Inventory* Completion`

13,700 + 1,300 x 50% - 2,220 x 1/3% = Total Equivalent: 13,610

The units was

13,700 complete

and 650 equivalent units of ending inventory

And there was 740 equivalent units done in a previous period

Total Equivalent: 13,610
