- Christie's Co. manufactures cookies. The company has two departments, Mixing and Baking. For the Baking Department, material is added at the beginning of the process. Work happens evenly throughout the process, so Conversion Costs are added evenly to the product. Once mixing is complete, the cookies pieces are immediately transferred to the Baking Department. Once the baking is complete, the final product is transferred to Finished Goods Inventory. Data for the Baking Department is as follows: Units Transfer $ DirectMaterials $ % Complete Conv Costs % Complete Opening WIP 550 $3,500 $2,800 100% $2,100 30% New units & Costs 2,000 $12,300 $8,100 $14,000 Ending WIP 680 ??? 65% Calculate the physical and equivalent units for Transferred-In, Direct Materials and Conversion Costsarrow_forwardWhite Diamond Flour Company manufactures flour by a series of three processes, beginning with wheat grain being introduced in the Milling Department.

There are three processing departments Mixing, Refining, and Packaging. On January 1, the first department-Mixing-had no beginning inventory. During January, 52,000 fl. oz. of chemicals were started in production. Of these, 36,000 fl. oz. were completed and 16,000 fl. oz. remained in process. In the Mixing Department, all direct materials are added at the beginning of the production process, and conversion costs are applied evenly throughout the process. The weighted average method is used. At the end of the month, Alchemy calculated equivalent units of production. The ending inventory in the Mixing Department was 70% complete with respect to conversion costs. With respect to direct materials, what is the number of equivalent units of production in the ending inventory?
