livingston company uses process costing to account for the production of elastic bands. all direct materials are added at the beginning of the process, and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. beginning inventory consisted of $16,600 in materials and $10,600 in conversion costs. april costs were $74,600 for materials and $82,600 for conversion costs. during april 10,600 units were completed. ending work in process inventory was 6,600 units (100% complete for materials, 50% for conversion). the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs using the weighted-average method would be:

Respuesta :

The first option is correct which is $16.184

Computation of Equivalent unit of Production

Units accounted for:

Unit completed & Transferred out

In Physical Units = 11600

In Material = 11600

In Conversion = 11600

Units in ending inventory:

In Material (50%) = 5800

Conversion (50%) = 2900

Equivalent units of production

In Physical Units = 17400

In Material = 17400

In Conversion = 14500

Computation of Cost per equivalent unit

Particulars =

Opening WIP =

In Physical Units = $32,000  

In Material = $44,000

In Conversion = $76,000

Cost Added during Period =

In Physical Units = $90,000  

In Material = $89,000

In Conversion = $179,000

Total cost to be accounted for

In Physical Units = $122,000  

In Material = $133,000

In Conversion = $255,000

Equivalent units of production

In Physical Units = 17400  

In Material = 14500

Cost per Equivalent unit

In Physical Units = $7.011  

In Material = $9.172

In Conversion = $16.184

Hence the final answer is  $16.184
