Chapter 20, Problem 8E
Exercise 20-8 Weighted average: Computing equivalent units of production C2
During April, the first production department of a process manufacturing system completed its work on 300.000 units of a product and transferred them to the next department. Of these transferred units, 60,000 were in process in the production department at the beginning of April and 240,000 were started and completed in April. April's beginning inventory units were 60% complete with respect to materials and 40% complete with respect to conversion. At the end of April, 82,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 80% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to conversion. Compute the number of equivalent units with respect to both materials used and conversion used in the first production department for April using the weighted-average method.

Question 18
Jublot Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. Data concerning the first processing department for the most recent month are listed below:
Beginning work in process inventory:
Units in beginning work in process inventory 600
Materials costs $ 7,300
Conversion costs $ 2,300
Percent complete with respect to materials 50 %
Percent complete with respect to conversion 10 %
Units started into production during the month 9,400
Units transferred to the next department during the month 8,600
Materials costs added during the month $ 196,300
Conversion costs added during the month $ 315,800
Ending work in process inventory:
Units in ending work in process inventory 1,400
Percent complete with respect to materials 70 %
Percent complete with respect to conversion 40 %
The cost per equivalent unit for materials for the month in the first processing department is closest to:
$14.48
$15.88…
