Question

The Refining Department of Crystal Cane​ Sugar, Inc. had 73 comma 000 tons of sugar to account for in December. Of the 73 comma 000 ​tons, 55 comma 000 tons were completed and transferred to the Boiling​ Department, and the remaining 18 comma 000 tons were 70 ​% complete. The materials required for production are added at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are added equally throughout the refining process. The weightedminus average method is used. Calculate the total equivalent units of production for conversion costs.

Answer 1

67,600 tons

Step-by-step explanation:

Weighted average costing adds the value of beginning inventory in the period cost to calculate the average cost per unit.

According to this method the equivalent units formula is as follow

Equivalent Units = Unit completed and transferred to Finished goods + Units in Work in Process x Completion percentage

Conversion

Equivalent Units = 55,000 + 18,000 x 70% = 67,600 units
