The department completed and transferred out 127,500 units this period. The ending inventory consists of 20,000 units that are 25% complete with respect to direct labor and overhead. All direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. The department incurred direct labor costs of $24,000 and overhead costs of $32,000 for the period.

Answer 1

$0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: The direct labor beginning inventory costs were $9,000 was missing

Equivalent unit for direct labor cost

Unit transferred 127,500 100% 127,500

Ending WIP Inventory 20,000 25% 5,000

Total 147,500 132,500

Total Cost

Cost in WIP Beginning 9,000

Cost added during period 24,000

Total cost 33,000

Cost per equivalent unit = Total Cost / Equivalent unit for direct labor cost

Cost per equivalent unit = 33,000 / 132,500

Cost per equivalent unit = $0.25
