The Pulp Department of Paper Mill, Inc. had 120,000 tons of pulp to account for in July. Of the 120,000 tons, 90,000 tons were completed and transferred to the Screening Department, and the remaining 30,000 tons were 60% complete. The materials required for production are added at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are added equally throughout the refining process. Calculate the total equivalent units of production for direct materials. 108,000 units 120,000 units 90,000 units 84,000 units
Process Costing
Process costing is a sort of operation costing which is employed to determine the value of a product at each process or stage of producing process, applicable where goods produced from a series of continuous operations or procedure.
