Required information Use the following information for the Exercises below. [The following information applies to the questions displayed below.] A production department in a process manufacturing system completed its work on 70,000 units of product and transferred them to the next department during a recent period. Of these units, 28,000 were in process at the beginning of the period. The other 42,000 units were started and completed during the period. At period-end, 17,000 units were in process. Exercise 16-4 Weighted average: Computing equivalent units LO C2 Prepare the production department's equivalent units of production for direct materials under each of three separate assumptions using the weighted average method for process costing. Prepare the production department's equivalent units of production for direct materials under each of three separate assumptions using the weighted-average method for process costing. Equivalent Units of Production (EUP)Weighted Average Method 1. All direct materials are added to products when processing begins. Units % Materials EUPMaterials 70,000 Total 2. Beginning inventory is 40% complete as to materials and conversion costs. Ending inventory is 80% complete as to materials and conversion costs. Units % Materials EUPMaterials Total 3. Beginning inventory is 60% complete as to materials and 40% complete as to conversion costs. Ending inventory is 30% complete as to materials and 60% complete as to conversion costs.
