- Hendrix, Inc. employs a process costing system. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. Here is information about July's activities: On July 1: During July: On July 31: Beginning inventories = 750 units, 60% complete Direct materials cost = $5,925 Conversion costs = $4,095 15,000 units started Direct materials added = $150,000 Conversion costs added = $83,520 Ending inventories = 1,500 units, 40% complete Using the FIFO method, the number of units started and completed in July was a) 14,250 b) 15,000 c) 13,500 d) 15,750arrow_forwardHello, The standards for one case of liquid weed killer are as follows: Direct materials 7 lbs @$8.25 pr/lb Direct labor 4 hours @$17.6/hr Variable overhead (based on machine hours) 1.3 hr @$6.05/hr During the week ending May 6, the following activity took place 5,632 machine hours were worked 32,239 lb of raw material were purchased for inventory at a total cost of $271,452. 4,560 cases of finished product were produced. 31,755 lb. of raw material were used. 17,839 labor hours were worked at an average rate of $17.88 per hour. $32,891 actual variable overhead costs were incurred.
