Equivalent units of production for materials and conversion costs. Materials Conversion Units completed and transferred out...........450,000 450,000 Ending work in process: Materials (150,000 x 100%)......................150,000 Conversion (150,000 x 50%).......................................75,000 ------------------------ Equivalent units of production....................600,000 525,000 ===== ====== Ending work in process: Work in process beginning....................100,000 Units started in production...................500,000 --------- Total work in process for the period......600,000 Less: Units completed..........................450,000 ---------- Ending work in process........................150,000 ii. Cost transferred to finished goods. Materials cost per equivalent unit: (100,000+ 650,000)/ 600,000 = $1.25 per equivalent unit Conversion cost per equivalent unit: (157,500+997,500) / 525,000 = $2.2 per equivalent unit Cost transferred out 450,000 x (1.25+2.2)=$1,552,500 ======== iii.Cost assigned to ending work in process inventory Materials costs: 150,000 x $1.25 = $187,500 Conversion costs: (150,000 x 50%) x $2.2) = $165,000 -------------- Cost assigned to ending work in process inventory $352,500 =======
