Question

Units to be Assigned Costs Kraus Steel Company has two departments, Casting and Rolling. In the Rolling Department, ingots from the Casting Department are rolled into steel sheet. The Rolling Department received 48,600 tons from the Casting Department in October. During October, the Rolling Department completed 50,500 tons, including 5,300 tons of work in process on October 1. The ending work in process inventory on October 31 was 3,400 tons. How many tons were started and completed during October?

Answer 1

1,900 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

Units Completed = Beginning Work in Process Units Completed + Units started and Completed during October

50,500 tons = 48,600 tons + Units started and Completed during October

Units started and Completed during October = 50,500 tons - 48,600 tons

Units started and Completed during October = 1,900 tons

So, 1,900 tons were started and completed during October.
