At the beginning of the month, the Painting Department of Skye Manufacturing had 24,000 units in inventory, 80% complete as to materials, and 20% complete as to conversion. The cost of the beginning inventory, $32,650, consisted of $26,400 of material costs and $6,250 of conversion costs. During the month the department started 119,000 units and transferred 126,000 units to the next manufacturing department. Costs added in the current month consisted of $283,440 of materials costs and $562,825 of conversion costs. At the end of the month, the department had 17,000 units in inventory, 30% complete as to materials and 15% complete as to conversion. If Skye Manufacturing uses the weighted average method of process costing, compute the costs per equivalent unit of materials and conversion respectively for the Painting Department.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Materials     $2,36

Conversion $4,43

Explanation:

 Weighted-Average:

completed + ending WIP

(there is not differenciation between completed and started and completed)

Equivalent units Materials: 126,000 + 17,000 x 30% = 131,1 00

Conversion: 126,000 + 17,000 x 15% = 128,55 0

Material Equivalent cost:

283,440 + 26,400 = 309,840

$309,840 / 131,100 = 2,3633867

Conversion Equivalent cost:

562,825 + 6,250 = 569,075

569,075 / 128,550 = 4,4268767
