The costs assigned to ending inventory are calculated as under –
To assign:
Costs to the assembly department’s output for –

2. Units in ending inventory (units that remain n process in the assembly department at month-end)

Answer to Problem 16QS
Solution:
Costs assigned for –
1. Units transferred out to painting department = $ 16,590
2. Units in ending inventory = $ 3,663
Explanation of Solution
The costs assigned to units transferred out to painting department and to units in ending inventory are calculated as under –
1. Costs assigned to units transferred out to painting department –
Given,
• Equivalent units for units transferred for materials = 7,000 units
• Equivalent units for units transferred for conversion = 7,000 units
• Cost per equivalent unit for materials = $ 1.02 per unit
• Cost per equivalent unit for conversion = $ 1.35 per unit
•
The costs assigned to units transferred out to painting department are = $ 16,590
2. Costs assigned to units that remain in assembly department (Ending inventory units) –
Given,
• Equivalent units for ending inventory for materials = 2,400 units
• Equivalent units for ending inventory for conversion = 900 units
• Cost per equivalent unit for materials = $ 1.02 per unit
• Cost per equivalent unit for conversion = $ 1.35 per unit
•
The costs assigned to units that remain in assembly department (Ending inventory units) are = $ 3,663.
Thus, the costs to the assembly department’s output for units transferred out to painting department and units in ending inventory (units that remain n process in the assembly department at month-end) have been assigned.
