Question

Apeto Company produces premium chocolate candy bars. Conversion costs are added uniformly. For February, EWIP is 40 percent complete with respect to conversion costs. Materials are added at the beginning of the process. is provided for February: Physical flow schedule: Units to account for: Units in BWIP Units started 60,000 Total units to account for 60,000 Units accounted for: Units completed: From BWIP 48,000 48,000 12,000 60,000 Started and completed Units in EWIP Total units accounted for Inputs Direct Materials Conversion Costs $30,000 $52,800 Required 1. Calculate the equivalent units for each input category Equivalent Units Direct Materials Conversion 2. Calculate the unit cost for each category and in total. If required, round your answers to the nearest cent. Unit direct materials cost Unit conversion cost Total unit cost 3. What if a different type of materials is also added at the end of the process (a candy wrapper), costing $4,800? Calculate the new unit cost. If required, round your answer to the nearest cent. per unit

Explanation / Answer

1. Equivalent units:

Direct Materials 60,000

Conversion Cost [ (12000*40%)+48000] 52,800

2.Unit direct material cost (30000/60000) = $0.50

Unit conversion cost (52800/52800) = $1

total unit cost = $1.50

3.Candy wrapper would be used onlyon completed units which are 48,000. Hence cost per unit = (4800/48000) = $0.10

Total unit cost = $1.50+$.10 = $1.60
