Question

DO NOT ANSWER IF NOT SURE

Matrix Inc. calculates cost for an equivalent unit of production using both the weighted-average and the FIFO methods. Data for July Work-in-process inventory, July 1 (37,700 units) Direct materials (100% completed) $130,210 Conversion (52% completed) $82,180 Balance in work in process inventory, July 1 $212,390 Units started during July 96,000 Units completed and transferred 108,000 Work-in-process inventory, July 31 Direct materials (100% completed) 25,700 Conversion (53% completed) Cost incurred during July Direct materials $188,000 Conversion costs $308,800 The cost of goods completed and transferred out under the weighted-average method is calculated to be:   $602,235 $605,235 $604,235 $606,235 $603,235

Explanation / Answer

13621     [25700*.53]

Total cost per equivalent unit = 2.38003 +3.21474 = $ 5.59477 per unit

cost of unit transfered out = 108000 * 5.59477 =$ 604,235

correct option is "c"

Material conversion cost Units transfered out 108000 108000 Ending inventory 25700

13621     [25700*.53]

Total equivalent units 133700    121621 Total cost in WIP 318210   [130210+188000]    390980    [82180+308800] Cost per equivalent unit 318210 / 133700 =$ 2.38003 390980/121621 = $ 3.21474
