Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

beginning WIP 20,000

materials 100% completed

conversion 75% completed (25% added in current period 5,000 EU)

started into production 180,000 units

completed and transferred out 160,000 units

units started and transferred out = 180,000 - 20,000 - 40,000 = 120,000 units

ending WIP 40,000 units

materials 100% completed

conversion 25% completed (10,000 EU)

beginning costs:

materials $25,200

conversion $24,800

added during the period:

materials $334,800

conversion $238,700

1. Compute the Blending Department's equivalent units of production for materials and conversion for June.

EUP for materials = 180,000 units

EUP for conversion = 5,000 + 120,000 + 10,000 = 135,000

2. Compute the Blending Department's cost per equivalent unit for materials and conversion for June.

cost per EUP for materials = $334,800 / 180,000 = $1.86

cost per EUP for conversion = $238,700 / 135,000 = $1.768148

3. Calculate the Blending Department's cost of ending work in process inventory for materials, conversion, and in total for June.

materials = 40,000 x $1.86 = $74,400

conversion = 10,000 x $1.768148 = $17,681.50

total = $92,081.50

4. Calculate the Blending Department's cost of units transferred out to the next department for materials, conversion, and in total for June.

materials = (140,000 x $1.86) + $25,200 = $285,600

conversion = (125,000 x $1.7681) + $24,800 = $245,818.50

total = $531,418.50

5. Prepare a cost reconciliation report for the Blending Department for June.

Beginning WIP:

Cost already incurred $50,000

  • Material cost 0
  • Conversion Cost = 5,000 x $1.768148 = $8,840.75

Total $58,840.75

Started and transferred out

  • materials 140,000 x $1.86 = $260,400
  • conversion costs 120,000 x $1.768148 = $212,177.75
  • total $472,577.75

Total cost of units transferred out $531,418.50
