Question - You make kayaks - materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly through the production process. At the beginning of June, work in process is 80% finished, and at the end of the month it is 70% finished. You use the weighted-average method of process costing. Other data for the month includes:
Beginning WIP inventory (units) 200
Units started (units) 850
Units placed in finished goods (units) 900
Conversion costs $270,000
Cost of direct materials $400,000
Beginning WIP costs: Materials $100,000; Conversion $70,000
What are the equivalent units for direct materials and conversion costs? Then, what is the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs?
