Kota Toy Corporation manufactures lizard dolls in two departments, Molding and Assembly. In the Molding Department, plastic is injected into a lizard-shaped mold. The dolls that come out of the molds are then transferred to the Assembly Department where hair is applied. Kota uses a weighted-average process cost system to collect costs in both departments.On January 1, the Molding Department had 4,000 dolls in process. These dolls were 100% complete with respect to direct materials and 70% complete with respect to conversion cost. During January, Molding completed 79,000 dolls. On January 31, Molding had 7,000 dolls in work in process. These dolls were 100% complete with respect to direct materials and 25% complete with respect to conversion cost.How many dolls were started in the Molding Department during January?a.) 75,000b.) 76,000c.) 82,000d.) 86,000

Respuesta :

Answer:

c.) 82,000

Explanation:

We know that,

The ending work in progress units = Beginning work in process inventory + Units started in production - Units completed and transferred

7,000 dolls =  4,000 dolls + Units started in production -  79,000 dolls

7,000 dolls = -75,000 dolls + Units started in production

So, Units started in production = 75,000 dolls + 7,000 dolls

                                                    = 82,000
