#5 chap 11

As Efrain Manufacturing produced bookshelves this month, its accountants were in contact with production managers to keep tabs on costs. The WIP Inventory-Assembly account had a beginning balance as follows: DM costs of $42,000 and conversion costs of $30,000. Additional DM costs were added to this assembly department this month totaling $102,000, along with conversion costs of $54,000. Direct materials were pulied from RM Inventory, while conversion costs consisted of accrued DL costs of $38,000 and applied MOH of $16,000. During the month, 3,000 physical units were completed. Efrain uses the weighted-average method of process costing and reported the following equivalent units this month. Under the weighted-average method, what does an equivalent unit mean? Be sure to address whether equivalent units of work done means the same thing as units completed this period. Explain why the cost per equivalent unit for both DM and conversion costs under the FIFO method and under the weightedaverage method will be the same or different.
