Question

Walbin Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The beginning work in process inventory in a particular department consisted of 15,500 units, 100% complete with respect to materials cost and 20% complete with respect to conversion costs. The total cost in the beginning work in process inventory was $25,200. A total of 53,000 units were transferred out of the department during the month. The costs per equivalent unit were computed to be $1.6 for materials and $3.3 for conversion costs. The total cost of the units completed and transferred out of the department was:

a. $259,700
b. $254,180
c. $189,740
d. $225,380

Answer 1

a. $259,700

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the total cost of the units completed and transferred out of the department is given below:

= 53,000 units × $1.6 + 53,000 un$its × $3.3

= $84,800 + $174,900

= $259,700

Hence, the total cost of the units completed and transferred out of the department is $259,700
