Question: Refer to Short Exercises S18-8 and S18-9. Use Complete Foods’s costs per equivalent unit of production for direct materials and conversion costs that you calculated in Short Exercise S18-9.

Calculate the cost of the 38,000 units completed and transferred out and the

24,000 units, 20% complete, in the ending Work-in-Process Inventory.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer:

The cost of 38,000 units completed and transferred out is $49,400 and the cost of 24,000 units is $31,200.

Step by step solution

01

Cost of 38,000 units completed and transferred out

Costofcompletedunits=Equalentunitofproduction×(costofdirectmaterial+Conversioncost)=38,000×($0.75+$0.55)=$49,400

02

Cost of 24,000 units, 20% completed units

CostofWIPunits=Equalentunitofproduction×(costofdirectmaterial+Conversioncost)=24,000×($0.75+$0.55)=$31,200
