Concept explainers
Pesco Processing uses weighted-average process-costing. All materials are introduced at the start of manufacturing, and conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the process. The company's beginning and ending work-in-process inventories totaled 10,000 units and 15,000 units, respectively, with the latter units being 2/3 complete at the end of the period. Pesco started 30,000 units into production and completed 25,000 units.
Beginning work in process: Materials, $60,000; conversion cost, $150,000
Current costs: Materials, $180,000; conversion cost, $480,000
Pesco's equivalent-unit cost for conversion cost is:
$13.71.
$18.00.
$21.00.
$25.20.
None of the answers is correct.

- Howard Corporation has two production departments. Curing has 12,000 units in process at the beginning of the period, 3 / 4 complete. During the period, 45,000 units were received from Crushing, 48,000 units were transferred to Finished Goods, and 9,000 units were in process at the end of the period, 2/ 3 complete. Cost information was as follows: Cost of beginning Work in Process: Cost in Crushing $ 21,640 Cost in Curing: Materials 8,810 Labor 1,190 Factory overhead 2,420 Costs during the month: Cost of goods received from Crushing $ 85,520 Cost in Curing: Materials 53,830 Labor 10,690 Factory overhead 17,560 Total costs to be accounted for $201,660 Question: Using the information above: Determine the unit cost for the month in Curing.b.

During the period, 56,800 liters were completed. The ending work in process inventory had 2,800 liters that were 60% complete. Assume that Mountain Springs uses the FIFO cost flow method and that materials are added at the beginning of the process.

- Equivalent Units of Production The Converting Department of Worley Company had 600 units in work in process at the beginning of the period, which were 25% complete. During the period, 12,400 units were completed and transferred to the Packing Department. There were 680 units in process at the end of the period, which were 30% complete. Direct materials are placed into the process at the beginning of production. Determine the number of equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials and conversion costs.
