Question 3

Ending WIP inventory has 100 units that are 80% complete for direct materials and 30% complete for conversion costs.For calculating costs per equivalent unit,which of the following statements is true?

Accepted Answer

The denominator for calculating costs per equivalent unit includes the total number of units being accounted for in the calculation. In this case, the 100 units in WIP inventory should be included. However, since the units are only partially complete for direct materials and conversion costs, only the equivalent units for each should be included in the denominator. Since the WIP inventory has 80% complete units for direct materials and 30% complete units for conversion costs, these are the proportions that should be used to calculate the equivalent units. Therefore, the denominator would include 80 units for direct materials (80% of 100) and 30 units for conversion costs (30% of 100).

Question 4

During a period,40,000 units were completed and 3,500 units were in ending WIP inventory.Ending WIP was 80% complete for direct materials and 30% complete for conversion costs.What are the equivalent units for direct materials?

Accepted Answer

To calculate the equivalent units for direct materials, we need to add the completed units to the ending WIP inventory units that are partially completed.

So, the total equivalent units for direct materials would be:

Direct materials used in completed units + ([Direct materials in ending WIP inventory] x % completion)

Direct materials used in completed units = 40,000 units

Direct materials in ending WIP inventory = 3,500 units x 80% = 2,800 units

Total equivalent units for direct materials = 40,000 + (2,800 x 80%) = 42,800 units

Therefore, the correct choice is D.

Question 7

There are 36,000 units started.27,000 were completed and transferred out and the 9,000 remaining units were 40% complete for conversion costs.The total number of equivalent units for conversion costs is:

Accepted Answer

The equivalent units for conversion costs are calculated by adding the completed units to the equivalent units of the ending work in process. Here, 27,000 units are completed, and the 9,000 remaining units are 40% complete, which gives 3,600 equivalent units (9,000 x 0.40). Therefore, the total equivalent units for conversion costs are 27,000 + 3,600 = 30,600.

Question 8

The following information is provided by Sussman Company: $\begin{array}{|l|r|}
\hline \text { WIP inventory, January 1 } & 0 \text { units } \
\hline \text { Units started } & 15,000 \text { units } \
\hline \begin{array}{l}
\text { Units completed and } \

\hline
\end{array}$ The units were 90% complete for materials and 40% complete for conversion costs.
How much are the total costs for which Sussman has to account (i.e.,its total costs to account for)?

Accepted Answer

The total costs to account for include direct materials, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. Therefore, the total costs are $23,500 (direct materials) + $13,700 (direct labor) + $11,000 (manufacturing overhead) = $48,200.

\hline
\end{array}$ 
-What is the total cost of units completed and transferred out?

Accepted Answer

The total cost of units completed and transferred out is the sum of the beginning WIP cost, the cost of materials added, and the cost of conversion added. The beginning WIP cost is the sum of the direct materials cost and the conversion cost. The direct materials cost is $50,300 and the conversion cost is $22,500, so the beginning WIP cost is $72,800. The cost of materials added is $412,000 and the cost of conversion added is $301,000, so the total cost of units completed and transferred out is $785,800.

-
On December 31,what is the total cost of units completed and transferred?

Accepted Answer

To calculate the total cost of units completed and transferred, we need to consider the cost of units in ending WIP inventory and the cost of units started and completed during the period.

Cost of units in ending WIP inventory:
- Materials = 60% × $633,510 (total material cost of WIP) = $380,106
- Conversion costs = 40% × $416,154 (total conversion cost of WIP) = $166,462
Total cost of units in ending WIP inventory = $380,106 + $166,462 = $546,568

Cost of units started and completed during the period:
- Materials cost = $1,780,000
- Conversion costs = $862,435
Total cost of units started and completed during the period = $1,780,000 + $862,435 = $2,642,435

Total cost of units completed and transferred = $546,568 + $2,642,435 = $3,189,003

Therefore, the best choice is C, which is closest to $3,189,003.

Question 12

In a particular department,5,000 units were started and all but 600 were completed at the end of the period.These 600 were 70% complete for materials and 45% for conversion costs.Costs added were $52,300 for materials and $53,500 for conversion costs.What is the total number of equivalent units for conversion costs?

Accepted Answer

To find the equivalent units for conversion costs, we need to calculate the portion of the 600 incomplete units that are equivalent to fully completed units.

For materials, all 600 units are 70% complete, so the equivalent units for materials would be:

600 * 0.7 = 420

For conversion costs, the 600 units are only 45% complete, so the equivalent units for conversion costs would be:

600 * 0.45 = 270

Adding these equivalent units to the 5,000 completed units gives us a total of:

5,000 + 420 + 270 = 4,690

Therefore, the answer is B) 4,670.

Question 13

Assume 10,000 units were in beginning WIP; 40,000 units were started; 43,000 units were completed; and 7,000 units were in ending WIP.Materials are added at the beginning of the process.There are total equivalent units for materials.

Accepted Answer

The total equivalent units for materials is the sum of units in beginning WIP, units started and units in ending WIP. Therefore, total equivalent units for materials = 10,000 + 40,000 + 7,000 = 57,000. However, since materials are added only at the beginning of the process, the equivalent units for ending WIP must be deducted. Hence, the correct answer is 57,000 - 7,000 = 50,000. Therefore, the best choice is B.

Question 14

At OxyCorp,direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversions costs are uniformly applied.Other details include: $\begin{array}{|l|r|}

\hline \text { Beginning WIP conversion costs } & \$ 22,500 \
\hline \text { Costs of materials added } & \$ 412,000 \
\hline \text { Costs of conversion added } & \$ 301,000 \
\hline
\end{array}$
- What is the total cost of units remaining in ending WIP?

Accepted Answer

To calculate the total cost of units remaining in ending WIP, we need to use the weighted average method, which includes both direct materials and conversion costs. 
Total cost of units to account for = Beginning WIP + Units started in process = $28,200 + $386,600= $414,800 
Unit cost = Total Cost of Units to Account For ÷ Units in Process = $414,800 ÷ 23,000 = $18.043 per unit 
Units in ending WIP = 4,400 
Total cost of units remaining in ending WIP = Unit cost x Units in ending WIP = $18.043 x 4,400 = $79,464
Since the answer options are not exactly matching, the closest answer is B ($94,222), which may not be the exact answer but closest to the calculated amount.

Question 15

The Adams Company uses a process system.During the current period,1,600 units were started and 1,200 units were completed and transferred out.Ending units were 70% complete for materials and 35% complete for conversion costs.Direct materials costs added were $32,500 and conversion costs added were $31,400.There was no beginning WIP inventory and conversion costs are added evenly throughout the process.
-At the end of the period,what are the total equivalent units for conversion costs?

Accepted Answer

Equivalent units for conversion costs = Units completed and transferred out + (Ending units x % complete for conversion costs)= 1,200 + (400 x 35%)= 1,200 + 140= 1,340

Question 16

-At the end of the period,the total equivalent units for direct materials are:

Accepted Answer

The total equivalent units for direct materials are calculated by adding the units completed and transferred out (1,200) to the equivalent units in ending WIP (400 units * 70% = 280). Thus, 1,200 + 280 = 1,480 equivalent units.

Question 17

Assume no beginning WIP inventory.The ending WIP inventory is 30% complete for materials.The total number of equivalents for materials would be:

Accepted Answer

The total number of equivalents for materials would include both the materials used in completed units and the materials used in the ending WIP inventory. Since the ending WIP inventory is 30% complete for materials, it means that only 70% of the materials have been used. Therefore, the total number of equivalents for materials would be less than the units started, which includes all the materials used in units completed and in progress.

Question 20

During a period,40,000 units were completed and 3,500 units were in ending WIP inventory.Ending WIP was 80% complete for direct materials and 30% complete for conversion costs.What are the equivalent units for conversion costs?

Accepted Answer

The equivalent units for conversion costs are calculated by adding the completed units to the equivalent units in ending WIP. The completed units are 40,000. The ending WIP units are 3,500, and they are 30% complete for conversion costs, so the equivalent units for conversion costs in ending WIP are 3,500 * 0.30 = 1,050. Therefore, the total equivalent units for conversion costs are 40,000 + 1,050 = 41,050.
