Question: Dormir produces a liquid herbal sleep remedy. Production begins in the Blending Department. All materials are added at the beginning of the blending process. Output

Dormir produces a liquid herbal sleep remedy. Production begins in the Blending Department. All materials are added at the beginning of the blending process. Output is measured in ounces. The production data for June are as follows:

Production:
Units in process, June 1, 70% complete*6,000
Units completed and transferred out36,000
Units in process, June 30, 40% complete*12,000
* With respect to conversion cost

Complete the physical flow schedule given below. There are a number of useful relationships. For example, Units Started and Completed = Units Completed ‒ Units in BWIP and Units Started = Units Completed ‒ Units in EWIP

Units to Account for:

Units in BWIP
Units started
Total units to account for

Units Completed:

Prepare the Equivalent Unit Schedules for FIFO and Weighted Average by completing the Table below. Since inputs are non-uniform, equivalent units must be calculated separately for calculated for materials and conversion inputs. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank or enter "0".

Using the following cost data for the Blending Department for the month of June, calculate the unit cost for FIFO and Weighted Average (complete the table following cost data). The unit cost is the sum of the unit materials cost and the unit conversion cost. Round unit cost to two decimal places.

Costs:

Work in Process, June 1:
Direct materials$600
Conversion costs210
Total work in process$810
Current costs:
Direct materials$7,560
Conversion costs1,830
Total current costs$9,390
