R2)The filtration department completely processed 190,000 liters in February. What was the filtration cost per liter?

Respuesta :

Answer:

R1. $47,000

R2. $1.04 per liter

Explanation:

Given that,

Wages of workers operating the filtration equipment = $21,950

Manufacturing overhead allocated to filtration = $25,050

Water = $ 150,000

R1. February Conversion costs in the filtration department:

= Direct labor costs + Manufacturing overhead

= $21,950 + $25,050

= $47,000

R2. Filtration cost per liter:

= Total cost incurred ÷ Total units processed

= ($21,950 + $25,050 + $ 150,000) ÷ 190,000

= $197,000 ÷ 190,000

= $1.036 or $1.04 per liter
