Cost Assignment; Cost Reconciliation—Weighted-Average Method [LO2, LO4, LO5]

Kenton Industrial Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system.

During April, the Baker Assembly Department completed its processing of 18,000 units and transferred them to the next department. The cost of beginning inventory and the costs added during April amounted to $855,000 in total. The ending inventory in April consisted of 1,500 units, which were 90% complete with respect to materials and 40% complete with respect to labor and overhead.

The costs per equivalent unit for the month were as follows:

Required:
1. Compute the equivalent units of materials, labor, and overhead in the ending inventory for the month.
2. Compute the cost of ending inventory and of the units transferred to the next department for April.
3. Prepare a cost reconciliation for April. (Note: You will not be able to break the cost to be accounted for into the cost of beginning inventory and costs added during the month.)
