Question

Comfort chair company manufacturers a standard recliner.

During February, the firm's Assembly Department started production of 73,200 chairs.

During the month, the firm completed 78,200 chairs, and transferred them to the Finishing Department.

The firm ended the month with 10,600 chairs in ending inventory. There were 15,600 chairs in beginning inventory.

All direct materials costs are added at the beginning of the production cycle and conversion costs are added uniformly throughout the production process.

The FIFO method of process costing is used by Comfort. Beginning work in process was 25% complete as to conversion costs, while ending work in process was 75% complete as to conversion costs.

beginning inventory:

Direct materials $24,100

Conversion costs $35,700

Manufacturing costs added during the accounting period:

Direct materials $169,000

Conversion costs $278,400

Answer 1

$455,540.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Equivalent units: Material Conversion

Total cost added during the year 169,000 278,400

Equivalent Units 73,200 82,250

Cost per Equivalent unit 2.31 3.38

Units Completed from Beginning WIP (15600 units):

Equivalent unit Cost per EU Total Cost

Beginning Cost 59,800

Material 0 2.31 0

Conversion Cost 11,700 3.38 39,546

Cost of units completed from Beg WIP 99,346

Units started and Transferred out (62600 units):

Equivalent unit Cost per EU Total Cost

Material 62,600 2.31 144,606

Conversion Cost 62,600 3.38 211,588

Total Cost of Units completed and transferred out: 356,194

Total cost of Goods completed = 99,346 + 356,194 = 455,540

Hope this helps!
