Pounds in process, May 1; materials 100% complete; conversion 80% complete 10,000
Pounds started into production during May 100,000
Pounds completed and transferred out ?
Pounds in process, May 31 ; materials 60% complete; conversion 20% complete 15,000
Cost data:
Work in process inventory, May 1 :
Materials cost $15,000
Conversion cost
Cost added during May:
Materials cost $154,500
Conversion cost $90,800

The company uses the weighted-average method.

Required:

Answer from: alleyeverett031

Part a

Materials = 104,000 units

Conversion Cost = 98,000 units

Part b

Materials = $1.50

Conversion Costs = $1.00

Part c

Cost of ending work in process inventory = $16,500

Cost units transferred out to the next department = $237,500

Part d

Cost Reconciliation Report

Cost of Beginning Work in Process Inventory $8,700

Cost added during the Period $245,300

Total $254,000

Cost of ending work in process inventory $16,500

Cost units transferred out to the next department $237,500

Total $254,000

Explanation:

Hi, there are some missing amounts from your question, however I managed to search for the full question online and I have attached it as an image below.

Units transferred out to the next department = 100,000 + 10,000 - 15,000 = 95,000

Equivalent units of production

Materials = 95,000 x 100% + 15,000 x 60 % = 104,000 units

Conversion Cost = 95,000 x 100% + 15,000 x 20 % = 98,000 units

Costs per equivalent

Materials = ($1,500 + $154,500) ÷ 104,000 units = $1.50

Conversion Costs = ($7,200 + $90,800) ÷ 98,000 units = $1.00

Total unit cost = $1.50 + $1.00 = $2.50

Cost of ending work in process inventory

Cost of ending work in process inventory = Materials cost + Conversion cost

= 9,000 x $1.50 + 3,000 x $1.00

= $16,500

Cost of units transferred out to the next department.

Cost units transferred out to the next department = units transferred out x total unit cost

= 95,000 x $2.50

= $237,500

The market price of cheeseburgers in a college town increased recently, and the students in an economics class are debating the cause of the price increase. some students suggest that the price increased because the price of beef, an important ingredient for making cheeseburgers, has increased. other students attribute the increase in the price of cheeseburgers to a recent increase in college student enrollment.1. the first group of students thinks the increase in the price of cheeseburgers is due to the fact that the price of beef, an important ingredient for making cheeseburgers, has increased. (what happened to demand and supply, shift to the right or left)2. the second group of students attributes the increase in the price of cheeseburgers to the increase in college student enrollment. (what happens to demand and supply, shift to the right or left)3. suppose that both of the events you analyzed above are partly responsible for the increase in the price of cheeseburgers. based on your analysis of the explanations offered by the two groups of students, how would you figure out which of the possible causes was the dominant cause of the increase in the price of cheeseburgers? (choose a, b,c, or d)a)if the price increase was small, then the supply shift in the market for cheeseburgers must have been larger than the demand shift.b)if the equilibrium quantity of cheeseburgers decreases, then the demand shift in the market for cheeseburgers must have been larger than the supply shift.c)if the equilibrium quantity of cheeseburgers decreases, then the supply shift in the market for cheeseburgers must have been larger than the demand shift.d)whichever change occurred first must have been the primary cause of the change in the price of cheeseburgers.
