Department E had 4,000 units in Work in Process that were 40% completed at the beginning of the period at a cost of $12,500. Of the $12,500, $8,000 was for material and $4,500 was for conversion costs. 14,000 units of direct materials were added during the period at a cost of $28,700. 15,000 units were completed during the period, and 3,000 units were 75% completed at the end of the period. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. Direct labor was $32,450 and factory overhead was $18,710. If the average cost method is used the conversion cost per unit (to the nearest cent) would be:

A) $3.71
B) $2.84
C) $2.97
D) $3.23

Kamin Company's mixing department had a beginning inventory of 4,000 units which had accumulated conversion costs of $55,000. During the period, the mixing department accumulated conversion costs of $92,000 and started 8,000 new units. Ending inventory was 2,500 units which were 40% complete with respect to conversion costs. Kamin uses the average cost method to cost inventories. Required: Calculate the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs in the mixing department.

Conversion costs are generally added evenly throughout the process.

The estimated total factory overhead cost and total machine hours for Department 40 for the current year are $250,000 and 56,250 respectively. During January, the first month of the current year, actual machine hours used totaled 5,100 and factory overhead cost incurred totaled $22,000.

On March 1, Upton Company's packaging department had Work in Process inventory of 8,820 units, which had been transferred in from the finishing department. These units had accumulated costs of $315,000 in previous departments and $16,000 for conversion costs in the packaging department. During March, 30,000 units were transferred into the department. These units had accumulated costs of $770,000 in the previous departments. The packaging department incurred $54,000 in conversion costs during the month. Seven hundred units remained in ending inventory on March 31. These units were 80% complete with respect to conversion costs. Required: Calculate the cost per equivalent unit for transferred-in costs and for conversion costs for the packaging department using the average cost method.

Conversion costs include materials, direct labor, and factory overhead.

Department A had 4,000 units in work in process that were 60% completed as to labor and overhead at the beginning of the period, 29,000 units of direct materials were added during the period, 31,000 units were completed during the period, and 2,000 units were 80% completed as to labor and overhead at the end of the period. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. The first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories. The number of equivalent units of production for material costs for the period was:

If the costs for direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead were $522,200, $82,700, and $45,300, respectively, for 16,000 equivalent units of production, the conversion cost per equivalent unit was $8.00.

Conversion costs are usually incurred evenly throughout a process.

Department R had 5,000 units in work in process that were 75% completed as to labor and overhead at the beginning of the period, 30,000 units of direct materials were added during the period, 32,000 units were completed during the period, and 3,000 units were 40% completed as to labor and overhead at the end of the period. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. The first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories. The number of equivalent units of production for conversion costs for the period was:

Gilbert Corporation had 25,000 finished units and 8,000 units were 35% complete. The equivalent units totaled 30,200.

Zither Co. manufactures a product called Zens in a three-process series. All materials are introduced at the beginning of the first process. Zither uses the first-in, first-out method of inventory costing. Unit and cost data for the first process (Department A) for the month of October 2012 follow:

The Mountain Springs Water Company has two departments, Purifying and Bottling. The Bottling Department had 8,000 liters in beginning work in process inventory (60% complete). During the period 70,000 liters were completed. The ending work in process was 3,000 liters (60% completed). What are the total equivalent units for direct materials under the FIFO method if materials were added at the beginning of the process?

If 10,000 units which were 50% completed are in process at November 1, 90,000 units were completed during November, and 20,000 were 20% completed at November 30, the number of equivalent units of production for November was 90,000. (Assume no loss of units in production and that inventories are costed by the first-in, first-out method.)

Department A had 1,000 units in Work in Process that were 60% completed at the beginning of the period at a cost of $7,000. 4,000 units of direct materials were added during the period at a cost of $8,200. 4,500 units were completed during the period, and 500 units were 40% completed at the end of the period. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. Direct labor was $28,700 and factory overhead was $4,510. The cost of the 500 units in process at the end of the period if the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories was:

Equivalent units of production are the number of units that could have been manufactured from start to finish during an accounting period.

Both process and job order cost systems maintain perpetual inventory accounts with subsidiary ledgers.

The four steps necessary to determine the cost of goods completed and the ending inventory valuation in a process cost system are: The correct ordering of the steps is:

Department E had 4,000 units in Work in Process that were 40% completed at the beginning of the period at a cost of $12,500. 14,000 units of direct materials were added during the period at a cost of $28,700. 15,000 units were completed during the period, and 3,000 units were 75% completed at the end of the period. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. Direct labor was $32,450 and factory overhead was $18,710. The number of equivalent units of production for the period for conversion if the first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories was:
