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 = 12500+(1450*60%) = 13370

Equivalent unit of conversion = 12500+(1450*20%) = 12790

Cost per equivalent unit of material = (8300+118715)/13370 = 9.5

Cost per equivalent unit of conversion = (6600+242805)/12790 = 19.50

Cost of ending work in process = (1450*60%*9.5+1450*20%*19.50) = 13920

So answer is d) $13920
