Cederholm Company has gathered the following information.

Units in beginning work in process                                     -0-
Units started into production                                           36,000
Units in ending work in process                                        6,000
Percent complete in ending work in process:
Conversion costs                                                                  40%
Materials                                                                                 100%
Costs incurred:
Direct materials                                                                 $72,000
Direct labor                                                                        $81,000
Overhead                                                                            $97,200

Instructions

(a) Compute equivalent units of production for materials and for conversion costs.

(b) Determine the unit costs of production.

(c) Show the assignment of costs to units transferred out and in process.






(a)     Materials:  30,000 + 6,000 = 36,000
          Conversion costs:  30,000 + (6,000 X 40%) = 32,400

(b)     Materials:           $72,000/36,000 = $2.00
          Conversion costs:  ($81,000 + $97,200)/32,400 = $5.50

(c)     Units transferred out:  30,000 X $7.50 = $225,000
          Units in ending work in process:
                        6,000 X $2.00                 =                 $12,000
                        2,400 X $5.50                 =                  13,200
                                                                                   $25,200
