Garrison Company adds direct materials at the beginning of the process and adds conversion costs throughout the process. The following data represents data in the Shaping Department WIP, April 1 7 comma 000 units Transferredminusin costs in WIP, April 1 $79,940 Direct materials (100%) in WIP, April 1 $24,420 Conversion costs (55%) in WIP, April 1 $23,400 Units transferredminusin 49 comma 000 Transferredminusin costs during April $550,900 Units completed 46 comma 000 April direct materials cost $155,500 April conversion costs $239,250 WIP, April 30 10 comma 000 units (100% for materials and 40% for conversion costs) What are the equivalent units for conversion costs?

Equivalent Units for conversion = 50,000 units

Cost per equivalent unit for conversion = $5.253

Explanation:

WIP, April 1                                               = 7,000 units

Transferred-costs in WIP, April 1            = $79,940

Direct materials (100%) in WIP, April 1   = $24,420

Conversion costs (55%) in WIP, April 1  = $23,400

Units transferred                                      = 49,000

Transferred costs during April                = $550,900

Units completed                                       = 46,000

April direct materials cost                        =$155,500

April conversion costs                             =$239,250

WIP, April 30                                              =10,000 units

100% for materials and 40% for conversion costs

Required = Equivalent Units for conversion cost?

Solution

Equivalent Units for conversion = 100% of units completed + 40% of units in work in process

Equivalent Units for conversion = (46000 x 100%) + ( 10,000 x 40%)

Equivalent Units for conversion = 46,000 + 4000

Equivalent Units for conversion = 50,000 units

Cost per equivalent unit for conversion = Total conversion cost/Equivalent unts for conversion

Cost per equivalent unit for conversion = (23,400+239,250) /50,000units

Cost per equivalent unit for conversion = $5.253
