The completed question is

ABC Inc. manufactures clocks on a highly automated assembly line. Its costing system uses two cost​ categories, direct materials and conversion costs. Each product must pass through the Assembly Department and the Testing Department. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the production process. Conversion costs are allocated evenly throughout production. Timekeeper Inc. uses weighted−average costing.

Data for the Assembly Department for June 2017 are​:

     Work in​ process, beginning inventory

380 units

Direct materials​ (100% complete)

          Conversion costs (50​% ​complete)

     Units started during June

950 units

     Work in​ process, ending​ inventory:

160 units

          Direct materials​ (100% complete)

          Conversion costs (75​% complete)

Costs for June 2017​:

     Work in​ process, beginning​ inventory:

          Direct materials

$91,500

          Conversion costs

$136,000

     Direct materials costs added during June

$601,000

     Conversion costs added during June

Step-by-step explanation:

Ending work in process= $87,380

Working

Reconciliation of Units

A Beginning WIP 380

B Introduced 970

C=A+B TOTAL 1,350

D Transferred out 1,180

E=C-D Ending WIP 170

.

Statement of Equivalent Units(Weighted average)

Material Conversion cost

Units Complete % Equivalent units Complete % Equivalent units

Transferred out 1,180 100% 1,180 100% 1,180

Ending WIP 170 100% 170 70% 119

Total 1,350 Total 1,350 Total 1,299

.

Cost per Equivalent Units (Weighted average)

COST Material Conversion cost TOTAL

Beginning WIP Inventory Cost $ 93,000 $ 137,000 $ 230,000

Cost incurred during period $ 600,500 $ 400,500 $ 1,001,000

Total Cost to be accounted for $ 693,500 $ 537,500 $ 1,231,000

Total Equivalent Units 1,350 1,299

Cost per Equivalent Units $ 513.70 $ 413.78 $ 927.48
