Explanation / Answer

$165,105

Working:

a. Caculation of equivalent units of production: Materials Conversion Physical Units % Materials Equivalent Units % Materials Equivalent Units Units completed 7500 100% 7500 100% 7500 Ending Units 3200 70% 2240 55% 1760 Total 10700 9740 9260 b. Calculation of Cost per Equivalent unit: Materials Conversion Beginning Work in process costs $                   8,800 $                   4,100 Costs incurred during the period $             1,11,900 $                 85,000 Total costs $             1,20,700 $                 89,100 /Equivalent units of production 9740 9260 Cost per Equivalent unit $                 12.392 $                   9.622 c. Calculation of cost of units transferred out: Equivalent Units Cost per Total Cost Cost of units transferred out Equivalent Unit Materials 7500 $               12.392 $                 92,940 Conversion 7500 $                 9.622 $                 72,165 Total Cost of units transferred out $ 1,65,105
