Exercise 4-8 Equivalent Units and Cost per Equivalent Unit-Weighted-Average Method [ Helix Corporation produces prefabricated flooring in a series of steps carried out in production departments All of the material that is used in the first production department is added at the beginning of processing in that department. Data for May for the first production department follow Percent Complete Work in process inventory, May 1 Work in process inventory, May 31 Units Materials 5,000 100% 10,000 100% 40% 30% Materials cost in work in process inventory, May 1 Conversion cost in work in process inventory, May 1 Units started into production Units transferred to the next production department Materials cost added during May Conversion cost added during May $ 1,500 $ 4,000 180,000 175,000 54,000 $ 352,000 Required me that the company uses the weighted-average method of accounting for units and costs. Determine the equivalent units for May for the first process. Materials Conversion Equivalent units of production Compute the costs per equivalent unit for May for the first process (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) 2. Materials Conversion Cost per equivalent unit Required: 1. Assume that the company uses the weighted-average method of accounting for units and costs Determine the equivalent units for May for the first process. Materials Conversion Equivalent units of production 2. Compute the costs per equivalent unit for May for the first process. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Materials Conversion Cost per equivalent unit 3. Determine the total cost of ending work in process inventory and the total cost of units transferred to the next process in May. (Do not round your intermediate calculations.) Total Cost of ending work in process inventory Cost of units completed and transferred out
