Answer:
The equivalent units for conversion costs in the Painting Department for April is b. 70,520
Explanation:
Equivalent Units for Conversion cost means the Total Units in terms of degree of Conversion Costs applied to those units.
To calculate the equivalent units for conversion costs in the Painting Department for April we:
First Determine the Units Completed and Transferred Out of the Painting Department
Hint: Units Inputs must equal Units out puts
Units Completed and Transferred Out = Units of Opening Work In Process + Units Transferred In from Prior Department - Ending Work In Process
= 65,600+6,300-4,600
= 67,300
Second Calculate the total Units of Conversion Costs
Completed and Transferred Out - 100% 67,300
Add Closing Work In Process - 70% 3,220
Total Units for Conversion Costs 70,520
Answer: B. 70520
Explanation:
Given the following ;
Beginning work in process = 6,300, 10%
Ending work in process = 4,600, 70%
Transferred from previous department= 65,600
Applying the weighted average method,
Unit transferred = beginning work in process + transferred from business department - ending work in process
Unit transferred = 6300 + 65600 - 4600
Unit transferred = 71900 - 4600 =67300
Equivalent unit for conversion = ending process inventory × 0.7 + units transferred = (4600 ×0.7) +67300
3220 + 67300 = 70520
