Chapter 3, Problem 21CE

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. Determine the equivalent units for materials only

General accounting

A. 155,200 B. 136,000 C. 168,000 D. 160,000
