The beginning work-in-process inventory is 60% complete with respect to conversion; the ending work-in-process inventory is 20% complete. The following data pertain to May: Units Work in process, May 1 15,000 Units started during May 60,000 Units completed and transferred out 68,000 Work in process, May 31 7,000 Total Direct Materials Conversion Costs Costs: Work in process, May 1 $41,250 $16,500 $24,750 Costs incurred during May 234,630 72,000 162,630 Totals $275,880 $88,500 $187,380 Using the weighted-average method of process costing, the total costs remaining in work in process on May 31 are:

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that Lakeland Chemical manufactures uses weighted-average method of process costing

Equivalent units

Materials = 9,000

Conversion Costs = 7,500

Total Costs

Materials = $20,500

Conversion Costs = $15,000

Cost per equivalent units

Materials =

Conversion Costs =

Total Cost in remaining in work in process

Total Cost

The total costs remaining in work in process on May 31 are $5,000.
