At the beginning of the month, the Painting Department of Skye Manufacturing had 40,000 units in inventory, 80% complete as to materials, and 25% complete as to conversion. The cost of the beginning inventory, $48,650, consisted of $42,400 of material costs and $6,250 of conversion costs. During the month the department started 135,000 units and transferred 150,000 units to the next manufacturing department. Costs added in the current month consisted of $329,600 of materials costs and $604,500 of conversion costs. At the end of the month, the department had 25,000 units in inventory, 40% complete as to materials and 10% complete as to conversion.

Explanation / Answer
correct option is "A"
Material conversion Units completed and transfered out 150000 150000 Ending WIP 10000 [25000*.40] 2500 [25000*.10] Equivalent unit 160000 152500 cost Incurred 372000 [329600+42400] 610750 [6250+604500] cost per equivalent unit 372000/160000=$ 2.325 [rounded to 2.33] 610750/152500=$ 4.004 [rounded to 4.00]Related Questions
