Question

Hache Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The first processing department, the Welding Department, started the month with 17,850 units in its beginning work in process inventory that were 20% complete with respect to conversion costs. The conversion cost in this beginning work in process inventory was $8,160. An additional 90,700 units were started into production during the month and 93,700 units were completed in the Welding Department and transferred to the next processing department. There were 14,850 units in the ending work in process inventory of the Welding Department that were 90% complete with respect to conversion costs. A total of $204,100 in conversion costs were incurred in the department during the month. The cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs for the month is closest toA. 2.274 B. 2.200 C. 2.007 D. 1.965

Answer 1

Correct option is C.

The answer is 2.007

Step-by-step explanation:

Equivalent unit of conversion = 92000+(14000*90%) = 104600 units

Conversion cost = 7480+202400 = 209880

Cost per equivalent unit of conversion cost = 209880/104600 = 2.007
