Question

The Learner Company uses the weighted average method. Learner's beginning work in process consists of 6,600 units (100% complete with respect to materials and 60% complete with respect to conversion costs). The number of units completed is 126,000. The ending work in process consists of 10,500 units (100% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to conversion costs). What are the equivalent units of production for conversion costs?

a. 129,150

b. 132,000

c. 135,000

d. 120,850

Answer 1

a. 129,150

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the equivalent units with respect to the conversion cost is shown below:

= Units completed × completion percentage + ending work in progress units × completion percentage

= 126,000 units + 10,500 units × 30%

= 126,000 units + 3,150 units

= 129,150 units

We ignored the beginning work in progress units as it is not relevant
