Required information

Use the following information for the Exercises below.

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] Fields Company has two manufacturing departments, forming and painting. The company uses the weighted-average method of process costing. At the beginning of the month, the forming department has 27,000 units in inventory, 70% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion costs. The beginning inventory cost of $56,100 consisted of $40,000 of direct materials costs and $16,100 of conversion costs. During the month, the forming department started 320,000 units. At the end of the month, the forming department had 35,000 units in ending inventory, 80% complete as to materials and 40% complete as to conversion. Units completed in the forming department are transferred to the painting department. Cost information for the forming department follows.

Beginning work in process inventory	$	56,100
Direct materials added during the month		1,660,000
Conversion added during the month		929,300

Exercise 16-6 Weighted average: Cost per EUP and costs assigned to output LO C2

1. Calculate the equivalent units of production for the forming department. 2. Calculate the costs per equivalent unit of production for the forming department. 3. Using the weighted-average method, assign costs to the forming departments outputspecifically, its units transferred to painting and its ending work in process inventory.

Calculate the equivalent units of production for the forming department.

Direct Materials:

Conversion:

Calculate the costs per equivalent unit of production for the forming department. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Direct Materials per EUP =

Conversion per EUP =

Using the weighted-average method, assign costs to the forming departments outputspecifically, its units transferred to painting and its ending work in process inventory.
