Question

The Converting Department of Tender Soft Tissue Company uses the weighted average method and had 2,100 units in work in process that were 70% complete at the beginning of the period. During the period, 26,500 units were completed and transferred to the Packing Department. There were 1,200 units in process that were 20% complete at the end of the period.

A. Determine the number of whole units to be accounted for and to be assigned costs for the period.

B. Determine the number of equivalent units of production for the period.

Answer 1

Answer:

A) 25,600 units

B) 25,270 equivalent units

Explanation:

the total number of units to be accounted for = units completed + units under process ending balance - units under process beginning balance = 26,500 units + 1,200 - 2,100 = 25,600 units

equivalent units = (2,100 x 30%) + (26,500 - 2,100) + (1,200 x 20%) = 630 + 24,400 + 240 = 25,270 equivalent units
