Equivalent units are the sum of direct materials used and direct labor incurred.

Just-in-time processing is a business philosophy that focuses on reducing time and cost and eliminating poor quality. This is accomplished in manufacturing and non-manufacturing processes by:

If 10,000 units which were 40% completed are in process at November 1, 80,000 units were completed during November, and 12,000 were 20% completed at November 30, the number of equivalent units of production for November was 75,600. (Assume no loss of units in production and that inventories are costed by the first-in, first-out method.)

The following unit data were assembled for the assembly process of the Super Co. for the month of June. Direct materials are added at the beginning of the process. Conversion costs are added uniformly over the production process. The company uses the FIFO process. The number of equivalent units produced with respect to direct materials costs is:

Department E had 4,000 units in Work in Process that were 40% completed at the beginning of the period at a cost of $12,500. 14,000 units of direct materials were added during the period at a cost of $28,700. 15,000 units were completed during the period, and 3,000 units were 75% completed at the end of the period. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. Direct labor was $32,450 and factory overhead was $18,710. The number of equivalent units of production for the period for materials if the average cost method is used to cost inventories was:

The cost of direct materials transferred into the Bottling Department of the Mountain Springs Water Company is $27,225. The conversion cost for the period in the Bottling Department is $7,596. The total equivalent units for direct materials and conversion are 60,500 and 63,300 respectively. Determine the direct materials and conversion cost per equivalent unit. Round answers to nearest cent.

Department G had 3,600 units, 25% completed at the beginning of the period, 11,000 units were completed during the period, 3,000 units were one-fifth completed at the end of the period, and the following manufacturing costs were debited to the departmental work in process account during the period: Assuming that all direct materials are placed in process at the beginning of production and that the first-in, first-out method of inventory costing is used, what is the total cost of 3,600 units of beginning inventory which were completed during the period (round unit cost calculations to four decimal places) ?

Department S had no work in process at the beginning of the period. 12,000 units of direct materials were added during the period at a cost of $84,000, 9,000 units were completed during the period, and 3,000 units were 30% completed as to labor and overhead at the end of the period. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. Direct labor was $49,500 and factory overhead was $9,900. The total cost of units completed during the period were:

In a process costing system, a separate work in process inventory account is maintained for each customer's job.

The Mountain Springs Water Company has two departments. Purifying and Bottling. The Bottling Department received 58,000 liters from the Purifying Department. During the period, the Bottling Department completed 56,000 liters, including 4,000 liters of work in process at the beginning of the period. The ending work in process was 6,000 liters. How many liters were started and completed during the period?

The FIFO method separates work done on beginning inventory in the previous period from work done on it in the current period.

Department G had 3,600 units, 40% completed at the beginning of the period, 12,000 units were completed during the period, 2,000 units were one-fifth completed at the end of the period, and the following manufacturing costs were debited to the departmental work in process account during the period: Assuming that all direct materials are placed in process at the beginning of production and that the first-in, first-out method of inventory costing is used, what is the equivalent units for materials and conversion costs, respectively.

The inventory at June 1 and costs charged to Work in Process - Department 60 during June are as follows: During June, 32,000 units were placed into production and 31,200 units were completed, including those in inventory on June 1. On June 30, the inventory of work in process consisted of 4,600 units which were 40% completed. Inventories are costed by the average cost method and all materials are added at the beginning of the process. Determine the following, presenting your computations:

In applying the first-in, first-out method of costing inventories, if 8,000 units which are 30% completed are in process at June 1, 28,000 units are completed during June, and 4,000 units were 75% completed at June 30, the number of equivalent units of production for June was 33,400.

Department A had 4,000 units in work in process that were 60% completed as to labor and overhead at the beginning of the period, 29,000 units of direct materials were added during the period, 31,000 units were completed during the period, and 2,000 units were 80% completed as to labor and overhead at the end of the period. All materials are added at the beginning of the process. The first-in, first-out method is used to cost inventories. The number of equivalent units of production for conversion costs for the period was:

Conversion costs are usually incurred evenly throughout a process.

The first step in determining the cost of goods completed and ending inventory valuation using process costing is to calculate equivalent units of production.

If 30,000 units of materials enter production during the first year of operations, 25,000 of the units are finished, and 5,000 are 50% completed, the number of equivalent units of production would be 28,500.
