Question

Matthew company manufactures phones in a two-department process that involve assembly and finishing. the assembly department reported the follow data for the past month:

direct materials added $336,000

direct labor 460,320

factory overhead 204,000

total costs to account for $1,000,320

units started 80,000

units completed and transferred 67,200

units not complete 12,800

units in beginning inventory 0

The partially complete units at the end of the month were 100 percent complete with respect to materials and 75 percent complete with respect to conversion costs. The unit cost of conversion costs is _______. show your work

a) $3.00

b) $6.00

c) $8.65

d) $9.00

Answer 1

c) $8.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 Calculate the Total Cost of Conversion

Total Cost of Conversion = Conversion Cost in Beginning Inventory + Added during the period

= 0 + 460,320 + 204,000

= $664,320

Step 2 Calculate the Total Equivalent unit for Conversion Cost

Total Equivalent unit for Conversion Cost

Units completed and transferred (67,200×100%) = 67,200

Units not complete( 12,800×75%) = 9,600

Total = 76,800

Step 3 Calculate unit cost of conversion

unit cost of conversion = Total Cost of Conversion / Total Equivalent unit

= $664,320 / 76,800

= $8.65

Therefore, The unit cost of conversion costs is $8.65
