Work in process, beginning of period $30,000
Costs added during period:
Direct materials (10,400 at $8) 83,200
Direct labor 62,000
Factory overhead 24,800

A. $19,100
B. $26,000
C. $23,200
D. $12,000

Explanation / Answer

Total Equivalent units of production
==============================
Beginning WIP      3,600 x 2/3                    2,400
Units from current period (12,000 - 3,600)   8,400
Ending inventory 2,000 x 1/5                         400
Total EUP                                                  11,200

                                                          Unit Cost  Ending inventory cost
Materials                                              $8.00      2,000 x $8.00 = $16,000
Direct Labor    $62,000 / 11,200           $5.54       400 x $5.54     = $2,216
Factory overhead  $24,800 / 11,200     $2.21       400 x $2.21     =     $884  
Total cost                                                                                  $19,100
