Respuesta :

Answer:

A. Material 200,000

Conversion 170,000

B. Materials $ 1.80

Conversion $ 1.55

C. Cost of units completed and transferred out $288,000 $ 248,000 $ 536,000

D. Cost of beginning work in process inventory $50,000

Costs added to production during the period $573,500

Explanation:

A. Calculation for the Blending Department's equivalent units of production for materials and conversion in June.

Equivalent units of production:

Materials

Transferred to next department

160,000

Equivalent units in ending work in process inventory:

Materials: 40,000

(40,000 units × 100% complete )

Equivalent units of production 200,000

Conversion

Transferred to next department

160,000

Add Conversion10,000

40,000 units × 25% complete

Equivalent units of production 170,000

B. Calculation for the Blending Department's cost per equivalent unit for materials and conversion in June.

Cost per equivalent unit:

Materials Conversion

Cost of beginning work in process $25,200 $24,800

Cost added during the period 334,800 238,700

Total cost $360,000 $263,500 (a)

Equivalent units of production

200,000 170,000 (b)

Cost per equivalent unit (a) ÷ (b) $ 1.80 $ 1.55

Materials =($360,000÷200,000=$ 1.80)

Conversion=($263,500÷170,000=$ 1.55)

C. Calculation for the Blending Department's cost of ending work in process inventory for materials, conversion, and in total for June.

Materials Conversion Total

Ending work in process inventory:

Equivalent units 40,000 10,000

Cost per equivalent unit $1.80 $1.55

Cost of ending work in process inventory $72,000 $15,500 $ 87,500

Units completed and transferred out:

Units transferred to the next department 160,00 160,000

Cost per equivalent unit $1.80 $1.55

Cost of units completed and transferred out $288,000 $ 248,000 $ 536,000

D. Preparation of a cost reconciliation report for the Blending Department for June

Cost of beginning work in process inventory $50,000

($25,200 + $24,800)

Costs added to production during the period $573,500

($334,800 + $238,700)
