Hall Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. Data concerning the first processing department for the most recent month are listed below: Beginning work in process inventory:

Units in beginning work in process inventory 1,000
Materials costs $7,100
Conversion costs $6,400
Percent complete with respect to materials 65%
Percent complete with respect to conversion 30%
Units started into production during the month 13,600
Units transferred to the next department during the month 12,300
Materials costs added during the month $137,224
Conversion costs added during the month $215,050

Ending work in process inventory:
Units in ending work in process inventory 2,300
Percent complete with respect to materials 60%
Percent complete with respect to conversion 25%

The total cost transferred from the first processing department to the next processing department during the month is closest to:

a. $356,256
b. $380,435
c. $341,325
d. $349,856

c. $341,325

Explanation:

First determine the Equivalent Units of Production

Materials

Units completed and transferred (12,300 × 100%)              = 12,300

Units in Ending Work In Process Inventory ( 2,300 ×60%) =   1,380

Equivalent Units of Production                                             = 13,680

Conversion

Units completed and transferred (12,300 × 100%)              = 12,300

Units in Ending Work In Process Inventory ( 2,300 ×25%) =      575

Equivalent Units of Production                                             = 12,875

Next Determine the Total Cost Incurred during the period

Materials

Cost in Units of Opening Work In Process     =      $7,100

Incurred during the period                               = $137,224

Total Cost                                                          = $144,324

Conversion

Cost in Units of Opening Work In Process     =     $6,400

Incurred during the period                               = $215,050

Total Cost                                                          = $221,450

Then Determine the Total Cost per Equivalent unit of Production

Cost per Equivalent unit = Total Cost / Total Equivalent Units

Materials = $144,324 / 13,680

               = $10.54

Conversion = $221,450 / 12,875

                   = $17.20

Total = $10.54 + $17.20 = $27.74

Finally calculate total cost transferred from the first processing department to the next processing department

total cost transferred  = Units transferred × Total cost per equivalent unit of production.

                                     = 12,300 × $27.74

                                     = $341,202

Conclusion :

The total cost transferred from the first processing department to the next processing department during the month is closest to $341,325

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
