**Understanding Conversion Costs in Process Inventory**In this section, we will analyze work in process inventory and compute the conversion cost per unit using the weighted-average method.**Scenario:**- There are 2,600 units in the ending work in process inventory.- These units are 100% complete concerning materials but only 30% complete regarding conversion costs.- The total cost of the ending work in process inventory is $8,060.- The per-unit material cost is $1.**Objective:**Calculate the conversion cost per unit using the weighted-average method.**Solution:**- **Step 1:** Determine the total material cost. - Total material cost = Number of units × Per-unit material cost - Total material cost = 2,600 units × $1 = $2,600- **Step 2:** Calculate the conversion cost. - Total conversion cost = Total cost - Total material cost - Total conversion cost = $8,060 - $2,600 = $5,460- **Step 3:** Calculate the equivalent units for conversion costs. - Equivalent units = Number of units × Percentage completion for conversion costs - Equivalent units = 2,600 units × 30% = 780 equivalent units- **Step 4:** Calculate the conversion cost per unit. - Conversion cost per unit = Total conversion cost ÷ Equivalent units - Conversion cost per unit = $5,460 ÷ 780 = $7**Conclusion:**The conversion cost per unit, using the weighted-average method, is $7.This example demonstrates the concept of calculating conversion costs in a process inventory and highlights the importance of understanding production completion percentages.

There were 2,600 units in ending work in process inventory that were 100% complete with regard to material and 30% complete with regard to conversion costs. Ending work in process inventory had a cost of $8,060 and a per-unit material cost of $1. What was the conversion cost per unit using the weighted-average method? Conversion cost per unit $

A company started a new product, and in the first month started 64,735 units. The ending work in process inventory was 16,040 units that were 100% complete with materials and 67% complete with conversion costs. There were 16,040 units to account for, and the equivalent units for materials was $6 per unit while the equivalent units for conversion was $9 per unit. What is the value of the inventory transferred out, using the weighted-average inventory method?
Compute the total costs of the units (gallons) (a) completed and transferred out to the Packaging Department, and (b) in the Department ending Work-in-Process Inventory. Complete the Production Cost Report that you began in Requirement 1 by calculating the costs per equivalent unit in this step, and then by calculating the the total cost of units completed and transferred out and of units in ending inventory in the following step. (Complete all input fields. Enter a "0" for any zero balances. Round the cost per equivalent unit amounts to the nearest cent and all other amounts to the nearest dollar. Abbreviation used: EUP = equivalent units of production.)
Bonita Company's Assembly Department has materials cost at $5 per unit and conversion cost at $10 per unit. There are 29500 units in ending work in process, all of which are 70% complete as to conversion costs. Materials are added at the beginning of the process.
