Completed  (75,000)

Ending            5,000

b. Equivalent units in process:    Materials    Conversion  Total

Units completed                        75,000        75,000

Plus ending inventory                 5,000          3,250

Equivalent units in process      80,000        78,250

c. Total cost to be accounted for and cost per equivalent unit in process:

                                                Materials    Conversion         Total

Beginning work-in-process               $0                $0                 $0

Total costs accounted for     $486,000     $358,776     $844,776

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Units of product started in process during October 80,000 tons

Units completed and transferred to finished goods 75,000 tons

Ending work in process inventory, October ending   5,000 tons (80,000  - 75,000)

Machine hours operated 7,000

Direct materials costs incurred $486,000

Direct labor costs incurred $190,800

Manufacturing overhead cost = $168,000 (7,000 * $24)

Total conversion costs = $358,800 ($190,800 + $168,000)

Ending work in process 65% converted.
