Question

During November, the production department of a process operations system completed and transferred to finished goods 35,000 units that were in process at the beginning of November and 110,000 units that were started and completed in November. November's beginning inventory units were 100% complete with respect to materials and 55% complete with respect to conversion. At the end of November, 40,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 100% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to conversion. Compute the number of equivalent units with respect to materials for November using the weighted-average method.
A. 145,000.
B. 40,000.
C. 105,000.
D. 112,000.
E. 185,000.

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of equivalent units using the weighted-average method is 185,000.

Explanation:

Determine the number of units completed and transferred out.

Number of units  completed and  transferred out  = Units in beginning

+ Units started and completed during the month

=35,000+110,000

=145,000

​  

Therefore, the number of units completed and transferred out is 145,000 units.

It is given that the beginning units completed is 35,000, and the units started and completed are 110,000. They are added to calculate the number of units completed and transferred out. Therefore, the number of units completed and transferred out is 145,000 units.

----

Determine the number of equivalent units using the weighted-average method.

Equivalent units =  Number of units completed and transferred out +  Additional units in process  ×Percentagecompleted

=145,000+(40,000×100%)

=185,000
