Question
Paste 3 (40 points) The Assembly Department uses a process cost accounting system and a weighted-average cost flow assumption. The department adds materials at the beginning of the process and incurs conversion costs uniformly throughout the process. During July, $190,000 of materials costs and $135,500 in conversion costs were charged to the department. The beginning work in process inventory was $93,000 on July 1, comprised of $80,000 of materials costs and $13,000 of conversion costs Other data for the month of July are as follows (40% complete) 25,000 units 90,000 units 30,000 units Beginning work in process inventory, 7/1 Units completed and transferred out (30% complete) Ending work in process inventory. 7/31 Instructions Answer the following questions and show computations to support your answers 1. How many physical unts have to be accounted for in July? 2. What are the equivalent units of production for materials and for conversion costs for the month of July? 3 What is the total cost assigned to the 90,000 units that were transterred out of the process in July? 4. What is the total cost of the July 31 inventory?Explanation / Answer
1 Units transferred out 90000 Work in process,July 31 30000 Units accounted for 120000 2 Equivalent units Physical units Materials Conversion Transferred ount 90000 90000 90000 Work in process,July 31 30000 30000 9000 Equivalent units 120000 120000 99000 3 Materials Conversion Total costs 270000 148500 Equivalent units 120000 99000 Cost Equivalent unit 2.25 1.5 Total cost assigned to units transferred out = 90000*(2.25+1.5)= 337500 4 Total cost of July 31 inventory = (30000*2.25)+(9000*1.5)= 81000
