At the beginning of the month, the Painting Department of Skye Manufacturing had 23,000 units in inventory, 70% complete as to materials, and 25% complete as to conversion. The cost of the beginning inventory, $31,650, consisted of $25,400 of material costs and $6,250 of conversion costs. During the month the department started 118,000 units and transferred 124,500 units to the next manufacturing department. Costs added in the current month consisted of $298,600 of materials costs and $541,910 of conversion costs. At the end of the month, the department had 16,500 units in inventory, 40% complete as to materials and 10% complete as to conversion. If Skye Manufacturing uses the weighted average method of process costing, compute the costs per equivalent unit of materials and conversion respectively for the Painting Department.

The following is an account for a production department, showing its costs for one month:

Work in Process Inventory
Beginning Balance	5,600	Completed and transferred out	50,010
Direct materials	21,800
Direct labor	16,400
Overhead	11,000
Ending Balance	4,790

Assume that materials are added at the beginning of the production process and that direct labor and overhead are applied uniformly. If the started and completed units cost $42,050, what was the cost of completing the units in the beginning Work in Process inventory?

• $54,800.

• $12,750.

• $7,960.

• $2,360.

• $37,260.

• $74,565.

• $145,620.

• $67,760.

• $114,930.

• $100,478.
