Chapter 5, Problem 5.32AE
Compute equivalent units and assign costs (Learning Objectives 2, 3, & 4)
The Assembly Department of Easton Motors began September with no work in process inventory. During the month, production that cost $41,352 (direct materials. $12,532, and conversion costs, $28,820) was started on 28,000 units. Easton completed and transferred to the Testing Department a total of 22,000 units. The ending work in process inventory was 35% complete as to direct materials and 70% complete as to conversion work.
Requirements
- 1. Compute the equivalent units for direct materials and conversion costs.
- 2. Compute the cost per equivalent unit.
- 3. Assign the costs to units completed and transferred out and ending work in process inventory,
- 4. Record the
journal entry for the costs transferred out of the Assembly Department to the Testing Department. - 5. Post all of the transactions in the Work in Process Inventory—Assembly T-account, What is the ending balance?
