Answer 1

Answer:

The total cost to be accounted for under the weighted-average method would be $184,000

Explanation:

Given information ,

Beginning work in process inventory = $22,000

Ending work in process inventory = $27,000.

The cost of units transferred out from the department =  $157,000

Under weighted average method, the beginning Work in process inventory is not considered. So, the total cost would be displayed below.

Total cost = The cost of units transferred out from the department + Ending work in process inventory

= $157,000 + $27,000

= $184,000

Thus, the total cost to be accounted for under the weighted-average method would be $184,000
