During March,the production department of a process operations system completed and transferred to finished goods 25,000 units that were in process at the beginning of March and 110,000 that were started and completed in March.March's beginning inventory units were 100% complete with respect to materials and 55% complete with respect to conversion.At the end of March,30,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 100% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to conversion.Compute the number of equivalent units with respect to both materials and conversion respectively for March using the FIFO method.
A)165,000;165,000.
B)135,000;119,000.
C)140,000;130,250.
D)165,000;144,000.
E)144,000;144,000.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Equivalent units = Units completed + Units in ending WIP × % complete
With respect to materials:
- Units completed: 25,000 + 110,000 = 135,000
- Units in ending WIP: 30,000 × 100% = 30,000
- Equivalent units for ending WIP: 30,000 × 100% = 30,000
- Total equivalent units: 135,000 + 30,000 = 165,000

With respect to conversion:
- Units completed: 25,000 × 55% + 110,000 = 139,750
- Units in ending WIP: 30,000 × 30% = 9,000
- Equivalent units for ending WIP: 9,000 × 100% = 9,000
- Total equivalent units: 139,750 + 9,000 = 148,750

Therefore, the answer is C) 140,000; 130,250.
