Question

RST Company incurred $126,000 in material costs during July. Additionally, the 12,000 units in the Work-in-Process Inventory on July 1 had materials assigned to them of $32,000, even though they were only 5% complete as to materials. No additional units were started during July, and there were no unfinished units on hand on July 31. What is the material cost per unit for July, assuming RST uses weighted-average process costing? A. $10.50B. $11.59C. $13.17D. $15.49

Answer 1

$ 13.17

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided :

Material cost in the beginning = $ 126,000

Additional material cost = $ 32,000

thus,

the total material cost = $ 126,000 + $ 32,000 = $ 158,000

Units in the work in progress = 12,000 units

Therefore, the material cost per unit for July = (Total material cost) / (Units being produced)

on substituting the values in the above relation, we get

he material cost per unit for July = ( $ 158,000 ) / ( 12,000 units )

= $ 13.1667 ≈ $ 13.17
