Materials costs of $720000 and conversion costs of $800800 were charged to a processing department in the month of September. All materials are added at the beginning of the process, while conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. There were no units in beginning work in process, 120000 units were started into production in September, and there were 8000 units in ending work in process that were 30% complete at the end of September. What was the total amount of manufacturing costs assigned to those units that were completed and transferred out of the process in September

Respuesta :

Answer:

The total amount of manufacturing costs assigned to those units that were completed and transferred out of the process in September is:

= $1,456,000.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                 Units    Materials      Conversion      Total

Incurred during September                 $720,000      $800,800  $1,520,800

Equivalent units of production:

                                                       Units      Materials      Conversion

Started into production              120,000

Ending work in process                 8,000     8,000 (100%)     2,400 (30%)

Completed and transferred out 112,000  112,000 (100%)  112,000 (100%)

Equivalent units                                        120,000              114,400

Total cost of production                 $720,000      $800,800

Equivalent units                                120,000           114,400

Cost per equivalent units                          $6                  $7

Cost assigned to:

Units completed and transferred out  $672,000   $784,000     $1,456,000

Ending work in process                            48,000        16,800            64,800

Total cost assigned & accounted for  $720,000   $800,800     $1,520,800
