The costs per equivalent unit for the month were as follows:_______.
Materials Labor Overhead
Cost per equivalent unit $14.40 $4.50 $7.90
Required:

Respuesta :

Answer:

1. Material = 2,880

Labour= 2,160

Overhead= 2,160

2. Material=$41,472

Labour=$9,720

Overhead =$17,064

Total $68,256

3. Material =$383,040

Labour=$119,700

Overhead =$210,140

Total $712,880

4. $781,136

Explanation:

1. Computation for the equivalent unit

Equivalent unit

Material3,600*80%

Material = 2,880

Labour 3,600*60%

Labour= 2,160

Overhead 3,600*60%

0verhead=2,160

2) Computation for Cost of ending WIP

Cost of ending WIP

Material = 2,880×$14.40

Material=$41,472

Labour= 2,160× $4.50

Labour=$9,720

Overhead 2,160×$7.90

Overhead =$17,064

TOTAL $68,256

($41,472+$9,720+$17,064)

3) Computation for the Cost of unit transferred out

Cost of unit transferred out

Material 26,600×$14.40

Material =$383,040

Labour 26,600 ×$4.50

Labour= $119,700

Overhead 26,600×$7.90

Overhead =$210,140

TOTAL $712,880

($383,040+$119,700+$210,140)

4) Preparation a cost reconciliation for January

Total Cost to be accounted for $781,136

Cost accounted as

Unit transferred out Cost $712,880

Cost of ending WIP $68,256

Total cost accounted as $781,136
