Beginning work in process inventory consisted of 1.000 units and ending work in process inventory consisted of 2.000 units. Required: a. Using the FIFO method, compute the cost of the units transferred to the next department during the period (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to nearest whole number.) b. Using the FIFO method, compute the cost of ending work in process inventory during the period. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to nearest whole number.)
Explanation / Answer
Cost transferred to next department:
Materials:
4.40*8000 + 2700 (beginning wip) = $37,900
Conversion:
1.30*8000 + 380 (begining wip) = $10,780
Total: $48,680
Cost of ending WIP:
Material:
800*4.40 = $3520
Conversion:
200*1.3 = $260
Total: $3780
