Equivalents units in
In Process costing, the Equivalent units concept is important to compute the actual cost associated with the units completed during the period and units remained in process at the end. The main difference between unit completed and units in process at end is that the units completed has been processed at 100% degree with respect to each element of cost and the units in process is treated as units which may not have completed at 100% degree for some or all elements of cost till the end of period. Therefore, the equivalent units concept is important where the units in process shall be taken in line of completed units by reducing its units on the basis of degree of completion of in process units for each element of cost.
The Total equivalent units of production with respect to each element of cost shall be computed as per weighted average method.

- Don't want wrong answerarrow_forwardGeneral Accounting Reasoning Problem : Desert Sun Solar panels have a base output of 300 watts, but their efficiency is affected by temperature and dust. The temperature causes a loss of 0.5% per degree Celsius above 25°C, and dust reduces efficiency by 3% per week since the last cleaning. Calculate the output of the solar panel after 3 weeks at 35°C, considering both the temperature and dust reduction effects. a) 269.35 b) 249.35 c) 259.35 d) 239.35arrow_forward4 POINTSarrow_forward
- What's overhead cost?arrow_forwardwhat is a true answer of this General accounting questionarrow_forwardAt the beginning of the year, Morrison Manufacturing estimated its manufacturing overhead to be $815,500. At the end of the year, actual labor hours worked totaled 38,500 hours, the actual manufacturing overhead incurred was $798,000, and the manufacturing overhead was overapplied by $36,250. If the predetermined overhead rate is based on direct labor hours, then the estimated labor hours at the beginning of the year used in the predetermined overhead rate must have been: a. 36,787.45 direct labor hours b. 37,856.33 direct labor hours c. 38,501.85 direct labor hours d. 37,632.67 direct labor hours.
