Concept Introduction:
Costs assigned to Units transferred and units in ending inventory:
The costs are assigned to units transferred and units in ending inventory on the basis of equivalent units in materials and conversion and cost per units assigned.
The costs assigned to units transferred are calculated as under –
The costs assigned to ending inventory are calculated as under –
To assign:
Costs to the assembly department’s output for –
1. Units transferred out to painting department
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.

- Using the data given for Cases 1 below, and assuming the use of the average cost method, compute the separate equivalent units of production - one for materials and one for labor and overhead - under each of the following assumptions (labor and factory over - head are applied evenly during the process in each assumption). Assumptions: At the beginning of the process, 75% of the materials go into production, and 25% go into production when the process is one- half completed. Case 1: Started in process - 5,000 units. Finished - 3,000 units. Work in process, end of the period, 2,000 units, three-fourths completed. For this problem, determine the equivalent units for labor and overhead.
