Data for July:

Work in process inventory, July 1 (36,000 units)

Direct materials (100 % completed) $122,400

Conversion (50 % completed) 76,800

Balance in work in process inventory, July 1 $199,200

Units started during July 90,000

Units completed and transferred 102,000

Work in process inventory, July 31 24,000

Direct materials (100% completed)

Conversion (50% completed)

Cost incurred during July:

Direct materials$180,000

Conversion costs 288,000

Physical flow:

Work in process inventory, July 1 (36,000 units)

Units started during July 90,000

Units completed and transferred 102,000

Work in process inventory, July 31 24,000

Units Direct materials Conversion

Equivalent units of production:

Units completed and transferred 102,000 102,000 102,000

Ending work in process 24,000 24,000 (100%) 12,000 (50%)

Total equivalent units 126,000 114,000

Cost of production:

Direct materials Conversion Total

Beginning work in process $122,400 $76,800 $199,200

Costs incurred during July 180,000 288,000 468,000

Total production costs $302,400 $364,800 $667,200

Cost per equivalent unit:

Direct materials Conversion

Total production costs $302,400 $364,800

Total equivalent units 126,000 114,000

Cost per equivalent unit $2.40 $3.20

Cost assigned to: Direct materials Conversion Total

Completed and transferred out $244,800 $326,400 $571,200

Ending work in process 57,600 38,400 96,000

Total costs assigned $302,400 $364,800 $667,200
