Question

The Smelting Department of Kiner Company has the following production data for November. Production: Beginning work in process 3,700 units that are 100% complete as to materials and 23% complete as to conversion costs; units transferred out 10,500 units; and ending work in process 8,100 units that are 100% complete as to materials and 41% complete as to conversion costs. Compute the equivalent units of production for (a) materials and (b) conversion costs for the month of November. Materials Conversion Costs Total equivalent units

Answer 1

(A) 18,600 units

(B) 13,821 units

Step-by-step explanation:

(A) The computation of the equivalent unit for material cost is shown below:

= (Completed and transferred units × completed percentage) + (ending work in progress units × completed percentage)

= (10,500 units × 100%) + (8,100 units × 100%)

= 10,500 units + 8,100 units

= 18,600 units

(B) The computation of the equivalent unit for conversion cost is shown below:

= (Completed and transferred units × completed percentage) + (ending work in progress units × completed percentage)

= (10,500 units × 100%) + (8,100 units × 41%)

= 10,500 units + 3,321 units

= 13,821 units
