Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Number of units started and completed during February = 73,000 chairs (Units started in production)- 10,100 chairs (Ending inventory)= 62,900 chairs
Number of equivalent units in beginning inventory = 10,205 (15,700 × 0.65)
Total equivalent units for conversion costs = 10,205 + 62,900 + 8585 = 81,690 units
Direct material cost per unit = $168,500 / 73,000 = $2.31
Direct materials cost assigned to ending work-in-process inventory = $2.31 × 10,100 = $23,331
Work in process,beginning inventory $24,400 + $36,000 = $60,400
Costs added to beginning inventory = 15,700 × 0.65 × $3.41 = $34,799.05
