Question

M Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing. The following data pertain to its Assembly Department for September. Percent Complete Units Materials Conversion Work in process, September 1 1,900 55 % 10 % Units started into production during September 9,300 Units completed during September and transferred to the next department 8,400 Work in process, September 30 2,800 75 % 25 % Required: Compute the equivalent units of production for both materials and conversion costs for the Assembly Department for September using the weighted-average method.

Answer 1

For material = 10,500 units

For conversion = 9,100 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the equivalent units of production for both materials and conversion costs is shown below:-

For material = Units completed and transferred to the next department + (Work in process × Material work in progress percentage

= 8,400 + (2,800 × 75%)

= 8,400 + 2,100

= 10,500 units

For conversion = Units completed and transferred to the next department + (Work in process × Conversion work in progress percentage

= 8,400 + (2,800 × 25%)

= 8,400 + 700

= 9,100 units

Therefore we have computed the equivalent units of production for both materials and conversion costs by applying the above formula.
