- Ansarrow_forward1. For a company that uses process costing, Processing Department C had the following information for the most recent month: Beginning inventory for the month contained 12,000 units that were 30 percent complete with respect to materials. During the month, 80,000 units were completed and transferred out. Ending inventory was 6,000 units, 60 percent complete with respect to materials. What would be the weighted average equivalent units of production for materials for the month? 2. For a company that uses process costing, Processing Department F had the following information for the most recent month: Units Beginning Work-in-Process Inventory (40 percent complete) 5,000 Units started during the month 18,000 Ending Work-in-Process Inventory (10 percent complete) 4,000 Materials and conversion are incurred uniformly throughout the process.

- Equivalent Units; Assigning Costs; Cost Reconciliation—Weighted-Average Method Superior Micro Products uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. During January, the Delta Assembly Department completed its processing of 25,000 units and transferred them to the next department. The cost of beginning work in process inventory and the costs added during January amounted to 5599,780 in total. The ending work in process inventory in January consisted of 3,000 units, which were 80% complete with respect to materials and 60% complete with respect to labor and overhead. The costs per equivalent unit for the month were as follows: Required: 1. Compute the equivalent units of materials, labor, and overhead in the ending work in process inventory for the month. 2.
