Question

Walser Inc. produces a product that passes through two processes. During February, equivalent units were calculated using the weighted average method:

The costs that Walser had to account for during the month of February were as follows:

1. Using the weighted average method, determine unit cost. If required, round your answer to the nearest cent and use rounded amount in subsequent requirements.

2. Under the weighted average method, what is the total cost of units transferred out? What is the cost assigned to units in ending inventory? If required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.

Cost of units transferred out

Cost of ending inventory

Units completed 200,000 Add: Units in EWIP X Fraction complete: (57,930 X 30%) 17,379 Equivalent units of output (weighted average) 217,379 Less: Units in BWIP X Fraction complete: (20,000 X 80%) 16,000 Equivalent units of output (FIFO) 201,379
