Victory Company uses weighted-average process costing to account for its production costs. Conversion cost is added evenly throughout the process. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the first process. During November, the first process transferred 715,000 units of product to the second process. Additional information for the first process follows. At the end of November, work in process inventory consists of 201,000 units that are 90% complete with respect to conversion. Beginning work in process inventory had $416,780 of direct materials and $201,578 of conversion cost. The direct material cost added in November is $2,789,220, and the conversion cost added is $3,829,972. Beginning work in process consisted of 80,000 units that were 100% complete with respect to direct materials and 80% complete with respect to conversion. Of the units completed, 80,000 were from beginning work in process and 635,000 units were started and completed during the period.

Answer:

Equivalent units : Direct materials = 916,000 units and Conversion = 895,900 units

Explanation:

Calculation of equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials and conversion.

1. Direct Material

Ending Work In Process Inventory (201,000 × 100%)                 = 201,000

Completed and Transferred Out (715,000 × 100 %)                    = 715,000

Equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials = 916,000

2. Conversion

Ending Work In Process Inventory (201,000 × 90%)                   = 180,900

Completed and Transferred Out (715,000 × 100 %)                    = 715,000

Equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials = 895,900
