Process Cost Summary for May, using the weighted-average method:

Process Cost Summary for May:

                                     Materials      Conversion       Total

Units transferred    $466,200         $2,197,800       $2,664,000

Ending WIP                  50,400              190,080             240,480

Total cost                $516,600         $2,387,880       $2,904,480

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Units started = 21,600

Units transferred = 22,200

Beginning work in process = 3,000 units

Cost of beginning work in process:

Direct materials $19,800

Conversion costs = $221,940

Ending work in process = 2,400 units

Degree of completion:

Materials = 100%

Conversion = 80%

Actual costs incurred:

Direct materials = $496,800

Conversion = $2,165,940

Calculation of Equivalent Units:

                                  Materials                   Conversion

Units transferred out  22,200  (100%)         22,200  (100%)

Ending WIP                    2,400  (100%)             1,920  (80%)

Total equivalent unit  24,600                        24,120

Cost of production:
