LO 5.3During March, the following costs were charged to the manufacturing department: $22,500 for materials; $45,625 for labor; and $50,000 for manufacturing overhead. The records show that 40,000 units were completed and transferred, while 10,000 remained in ending inventory. There were 45,000 equivalent units of material and 42,500 units of conversion costs. Using the weighted-average method, prepare the company’s process cost summary for the month.

Answer 1

The process cost summary is given below.

A-Total Material Cost = $22,500

B-Total Conversion costs = $95,625 (45,625+50,000)

C-Units transferred out = 40,000

D-Ending Inventory = 10,000

E-Equivalent units of material = 45,000

F-Equivalent units of conversion costs = 42,500

G-Equivalent cost per unit of material = $0.5 (A/E)

H-Equivalent cost per unit of conversion costs = $ 2.25 (B/F)

I-Equivalent cost per unit = $2.75 (G+H)

J-Cost of inventory transferred = $ 110,000 (I*C)

K-Cost Of Ending Inventory = $ 8,125 (H*(F-C) + (5000*0.5))
