E3-17 (Algo) Calculating Equivalent Units, Unit Costs, and Cost Assigned (Weighted-Average Method) [LO 3-3]

Vista Vacuum Company has the following production information for the month of March. All materials are added at the beginning of the manufacturing process. Units

Beginning inventory of 3,800 units that are 100 percent complete for materials and 26 percent complete for conversion.
15,800 units started during the period.
Ending inventory of 2,800 units that are 14 percent complete for conversion.

Manufacturing Costs

Beginning inventory was $20,700 ($10,500 materials and $10,200 conversion costs).
Costs added during the month were $30,300 for materials and $57,100 for conversion ($27,800 labor and $29,300 applied overhead).

Assume the company uses Weighted-Average Method. Required: 1. Calculate the number of equivalent units of production for materials and conversion for March. 2. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit for materials and conversion for March. 3. Determine the costs to be assigned to the units transferred out and the units still in process.
