Weighted Average Method, Equivalent Units, Unit Cost, Multiple Departments

Fordman Company has a product that passes through two processes: Grinding and Polishing. During December, the Grinding Department transferred 20,000 units to the Polishing Department. The cost of the units transferred into the second department was $40,000. Direct materials are added uniformly in the second process. Units are measured the same way in both departments.

The second department (Polishing) had the following physical flow schedule for December:

Units to account for: Units, beginning work in process 4,000 (40% complete) Units started ? Total units to account for ? Units accounted for: Units, ending work in process 8,000 (50% complete) Units completed ? Units accounted for ? Costs in beginning work in process for the Polishing Department were direct materials, $4,000; conversion costs, $6,000; and transferred in, $9,000. Costs added during the month: direct materials, $33,000; conversion costs, $48,000; and transferred in, $39,000.

Required:

1. Assuming the use of the weighted average method, prepare a schedule of equivalent units. Enter percentages as whole numbers.
