Question

Read the requirements1.

Requirement 1. Assume there was no beginning inventory of any kind on January 1, 2017. During January, 20,000 cameras were placed into production and all 20,000 were fully completed at the end of the month. What is the unit cost of an assembled camera in January? (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)

Direct materials cost per unit
Conversion cost per unit
Assembly department cost per unit

Requirement 2. Assume that during February 20,000 cameras are placed into production. Further assume the same total assembly costs for January are also incurred in February, but only 19,000 cameras are fully completed at the end of the month. All direct materials have been added to the remaining 1,000 cameras. However, on average, these remaining

1,000 cameras are only 75% complete as to conversion costs. (a) What are the equivalent units for direct materials and conversion costs and their respective costs per equivalent unit for February? (b) What is the unit cost of an assembled camera in February

2017?

(a) What are the equivalent units for direct materials and conversion costs and their respective costs per equivalent unit for February? First calculate the equivalent units.

	Equivalent Units
	Direct Materials	Conversion Costs
Completed and transferred out in current period
Work in process, ending
Work done in current period

Now calculate the direct materials and conversion costs per equivalent unit for February. (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)

	Direct Materials	Conversion Costs
Costs incurred during the period
Equivalent units of work done in current period
Cost per equivalent unit

(b) What is the unit cost of an assembled camera in February

2017?

(Round your answers to the nearest cent.)

Assembly department cost per unit

Requirement 3. Explain the difference in your answers to requirements 1 and 2.

The difference in the assembly department cost per unit calculated in requirements 1 and 2 arises because the costs incurred in January and February are the same but (1) equivalent units of work are done in February relative to January. In January, all 20,000 units introduced are fully completed resulting in 20,000 equivalent units of work done with respect to (2) .

In February, of the 20,000 units introduced, 20,000 equivalent units of work is done with respect to
(3)	but only	equivalent units of work is done with respect to
(4)	. The assembly department cost per unit is, therefore,
(5)

1: Requirements

1.	Assume there was no beginning inventory of any kind on January 1, 2017. During January, 20,000 cameras were placed into production and all 20,000 were fully completed at the end of the month. What is the unit cost of an assembled camera in January?
2.	Assume that during February 20,000 cameras are placed into production. Further assume the same total assembly costs for January are also incurred in February, but only 19,000 cameras are fully completed at the end of the month. All direct materials have been added to the remaining 1,000 cameras. However, on average, these remaining 1,000 cameras are only 75% complete as to conversion costs. (a) What are the equivalent units for direct materials and conversion costs and their respective costs per equivalent unit for February? (b) What is the unit cost of an assembled camera in February 2017?
3.	Explain the difference in your answers to requirements 1 and 2.
