Solex
Company produces a high-quality insulation material that passes through
two production processes. Data for June for the first process follow:
| | Units | Completion with Respect to Materials | Completion with Respect to Conversion |
| Work in process inventory, June 1 | 76,000 | 75 | % | | 40 | % | |
| Work in process inventory, June 30 | 56,000 | 50 | % | | 25 | % | |
| | | | | | | | |
| Materials cost in work in process inventory, June 1 | | | | $ | 60,000 | | |
| Conversion cost in work in process inventory, June 1 | | | | $ | 17,800 | | |
| Units started into production | | | | | 258,000 | | |
| Units transferred to the next process | | | | | 278,000 | | |
| Materials cost added during June | | | | $ | 408,180 | | |
| Conversion cost added during June | | | | $ | 256,680 | | |
|
| 1. |
Assume
that the company uses the weighted-average method of accounting for
units and costs. Determine the equivalent units for June for the first
process.
|
| 2. |
Compute the costs per equivalent unit for June for the first process. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)
|
| 3. |
Determine
the total cost of ending work in process inventory and the total cost
of units transferred to the next process in June. (Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

Explanation:
Weighted-Average Method
| | Materials | Conversion |
| Units transferred to the next process | 278,000 | 278,000 |
| Ending work in process: | | |
| Materials: 56,000 units × 50% complete | 28,000 | |
| Conversion: 56,000 units × 25% complete | | 14,000 |
| |
|
|
| Equivalent units of production | 306,000 | 292,000 |
| |
|
|
|
| | Materials | Conversion |
| Cost of beginning work in process | $ | 60,000 | $ | 17,800 |
| Cost added during the period | | 408,180 | | 256,680 |
| |
|
|
|
|
| Total cost (a) | $ | 468,180
| $ | 274,480
|

|
|
|
|
| Equivalent units of production (b) | | 306,000 | | 292,000 |
| Cost per equivalent unit (a) ÷ (b) | $ | 1.53 | $ | .94 |
|
| | Materials | Conversion | Total |
| Ending work in process inventory: | | | | | | |
| Equivalent units of production | | 28,000 | | 14,000 | | |
| Cost per equivalent unit | $ | 1.53 | $ | .94 | | |
| Cost of ending work in process inventory | $ | 42,840 | $ | 13,160 | $ | 56,000 |
| | | | | | | |
| Units completed and transferred out: | | | | | | |
| Units transferred to the next process | | 278,000 | | 278,000 | | |
| Cost per equivalent unit | $ | 1.53 | $ | .94 | | |
| Cost of units completed and transferred out | $ | 425,340 | $ | 261,320 | $ | 686,660 |
