Kuzuck Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. Data concerning the first processing department for the most recent month are listed below:

Explanation / Answer

Equivalent unit of material = 12300+(2300*60%) = 13680

Equivalent unit of conversion = 12300+(2300*25%) = 12875

Cost per equivalent unit of material = (7100+137224)/13680 = 10.55

Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = (6400+215050)/12875 = 17.20

Cost of unit transferred out = (10.55+17.20)*12300 = $341325

So answer is a) $341325
