What is the output in equivalent units for March? equivalent units 2. What is the unit manufacturing cost for March? Note: Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ per unit 3. Compute the cost of goods transferred out for March. $ 4. Calculate the value of March's EWIP. $

Explanation / Answer

Answer for 1

What is the Output in equivalent units for March ?

Begining Work in Progress - Nil

Completed Units - 21,600 units

Ending Work in Process - 450 units ( Equivalent Units )

( 20 % of 2,250 units - As only 20% completed )

------------------

Total Equivalent Units 22,050 units

------------------

Answer for 2

What is the unit Manufacturing cost for March ?

Total Manufacturing cost - $ 101,430

Total Equivalent Units - 22,050 units

Unit Manufacting cost

= Total Manufacturing cost / Total Equivalent Units

= $ 101,430 / 22,050 units

= $ 4.60

Answer for 3

Compute the cost of goods transferred out for March ?

Unit Manufacturing Cost - $ 4.60

Completed units - 21,600 units

Cost of goods transferred

= Completed units x Unit Manufacturing Cost

= 21,600 x $ 4.60

= $ 99,360

Answer for 4

Calculate the value of March's Ending Work in Process ?

Unit Manufacturing Cost - $ 4.60

Ending Work in Process - 450 units ( Equivalent Units )

( 20 % of 2,250 units - As only 20% completed )

Value of March's Ending Work in Process

= Ending Work in Process in Equivalent units x Unit Manufacturing Cost

= 450 units x $ 4.60

= $ 2,070
