\text { Ending Work in Process } & 50,000
\end{array}$$ How many units have been transferred out to finished goods during the period?

Accepted Answer

The units transferred out to finished goods are calculated as: Beginning Work in Process + Started into Production - Ending Work in Process = 25,000 + 240,000 - 50,000 = 215,000 units.

Question 8

Materials costs of $1,200,000 and conversion costs of $1,530,000 were charged to a processing department in the month of September.Materials are added at the beginning of the process, while conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process.There were no units in beginning work in process, 20,000 units were started into production in September, and there were 5,000 units in ending work in process that were 40% complete at the end of September. What was the total amount of manufacturing costs assigned to the 5,000 units in the ending work in process?

Accepted Answer

The total manufacturing costs for the units in the ending work in process can be calculated by adding the materials costs (since they are added at the beginning, 100% of the materials costs are assigned to all units, including those in ending WIP) and the portion of conversion costs assigned to the ending WIP (40% of conversion costs, since they are 40% complete). The materials cost for the 5000 units is fully allocated, and the conversion costs are partially allocated based on the percentage of completion. The calculation is as follows: Materials costs for 5000 units = $1200000 (since materials are added at the beginning, all units, including those in ending WIP, are considered 100% complete for materials). Conversion costs for 5000 units at 40% completion = $1530000 * 40% = $612000. Total costs for ending WIP = $1200000 (for materials) + $612000 (40% of conversion) = $1812000. However, the calculation provided in the explanation does not match any of the options given, indicating a mistake in the explanation process. The correct approach to find the costs assigned to the ending WIP involves calculating the costs per unit and then applying the appropriate percentages for materials and conversion costs. Let's correct the approach: Total costs = Materials costs + Conversion costs = $1200000 + $1530000 = $2730000. Since materials are added at the beginning, 100% of the material cost is assigned to both completed and ending WIP units. Conversion costs are incurred uniformly, so we calculate the portion for the ending WIP based on their completion percentage. For 5000 units at 40% completion, only the conversion costs are prorated. The error in the initial explanation was in the allocation of total costs directly without considering the per-unit basis and the specific completion percentages for each type of cost. The correct calculation should involve determining the cost per unit for both materials and conversion costs, then applying the completion percentages to find the total costs for the ending WIP units. Without the correct per-unit calculation and application of percentages, the provided options cannot be accurately evaluated, leading to a misunderstanding in the initial explanation.

Question 9

Maisley Company decided to analyze certain costs for June of the current year.Units started into production equaled 28,000 and ending work in process equaled 4,000.With no beginning work in process inventory, how much is the conversion cost per unit if ending work in process was 25% complete and total conversion costs equaled $140,000?

Accepted Answer

1. Find the total equivalent units of production:
Total equivalent units = Units started into production + Ending work in process units × Percentage of completion
Total equivalent units = 28,000 + 4,000 × 0.25 = 29,000

2. Calculate the conversion cost per unit:
Conversion cost per unit = Total conversion costs ÷ Total equivalent units
Conversion cost per unit = $140,000 ÷ 29,000 = $4.83

Therefore, the closest option is C) $5.60.

Question 10

The total units accounted for equals units in

Accepted Answer

The total units accounted for in a process equals the ending work in process plus the units transferred out. This is because the units transferred out have already been completed and accounted for, while the ending work in process are the units that are still in process and not yet completed. Therefore, the sum of these two will give the total units accounted for in the process.

Question 11

A department adds materials at the beginning of the process and incurs conversion costs uniformly throughout the process.For the month of July, there was no beginning work in process; 40,000 units were completed and transferred out; and there were 20,000 units in the ending work in process that were 40% complete.During July, $120,000 materials costs and $105,000 conversion costs were charged to the department. The unit production costs for materials and conversion costs for July was $$\begin{array} { l c c } 
& \text { Materials } & \text { Conversion Costs } \
\text { a. } & \$ 2.00 & \$ 1.75 \
\text { b. } & \$ 2.00 & \$ 2.19 \
\text { c. } & \$ 2.50 & \$ 1.75 \
\text { d. } & \$ 3.00 & \$ 2.66

Question 18

If 150,000 units are started into production there was no beginning work in process, and 50,000 units are in process at the end of the period, how many units were completed and transferred out?

Accepted Answer

The number of units completed and transferred out can be calculated as follows:
Units completed and transferred out = Total units started into production - Ending work in process
Units completed and transferred out = 150,000 - 50,000
Units completed and transferred out = 100,000

Question 19

A department had the following information for the month: $\begin{array}{lr}
\text { Total materials costs } & \$ 300,000 \
\text { Conversion cost per unit } & \$ 3.00 \
