Problem 4.1.3 A Question Help Develop Company is a manufacturer of digital cameras. It has two departments: assembly and testing. In January, this year, the company incurred 700,000 on direct materials and 800,000 on conversion costs, for a total manufacturing cost of 1,500,000. Requirements 1. Assume there was no beginning inventory of any kind on January 1, this year. During January, 20,000 cameras were placed into production and all 20,000 were fully completed at the end of the month. What is the unit cost of an assembled camera in January? 2. Assume that during February 20,000 cameras are placed into production. Further assume the same total assembly costs for January are also incurred in February, but only 15,000 cameras are fully completed at the end of the month. All direct materials have been added to the remaining 5,000 cameras. However, on average, these remaining 5,000 cameras are only 50% complete as to conversion costs. (a) What are the equivalent units for direct materials and conversion costs and their respective costs per equivalent unit for February? (b) What is the unit cost of an assembled camera in February, this year? 3. Explain the difference in your answers to requirements 1 and 2. Requirement 1. Assume there was no beginning inventory of any kind on January 1, this year. During January, 20,000 cameras were placed into production and all 20,000 were fully completed at the end of the month. What is the unit cost of an assembled camera in January? (Round your answers to the nearest cent.) Direct materials cost per unit 35.00 40.00 Conversion cost per unit 75.00 Assembly department cost per unit Requirement 2. (a) What are the equivalent units for direct materials and conversion costs and their respective costs per equivalent unit for February? First calculate the equivalent units. (Enter your answers as integers.) Equivalent Units Direct Materials Conversion Costs Completed and transferred out in current period Work-in-process, ending Work done in current period
