The passage discusses different methods for calculating equivalent units, cost per equivalent unit, and applying costs to units in a manufacturing environment.

The weighted average method calculates equivalent units by taking into account work in process inventory at the beginning and end of the period as well as units started and completed during the period. It weights these amounts by their percentage of completion.

To calculate cost per equivalent unit using the weighted average method, total costs are divided by the total equivalent units of production.

EXERCISE 4-2 Computation of Equivalent Units-Weighted-Average Method [L02]

Answer :
Materials Conversion
Units transferred to the next department 190,000 190,000
Ending work in process :
Materials : 15000x80% 12000
Conversion : 15000x40% 6000
Equivalent units of production 202,000 196,000

EXERCISE 4-3 Cost per Equivalent Unit-Weighted-Average Method [LO3]

Answer :

Cost : Materials Labor Overhead


Cost of beginning work in process inventory $18,000 $5,500 $27,500
Cost added during the period $238,900 $80,300 $401,500
Total costs (a) $256,900 $85,800 $429,000
Equivalent units of production (b) $35,000 $33,000 $33,000
Cost per equivalent unit (a)/(b) $7.34 $2.6 $13

EXERCISE 4-4 Applying Costs to Units-Weighted-Average Method [LO4]

Answer :
Materials Conversion Total
Ending work in process inventory :
Equivalent units of production (a) 300 100
Cost per equivalent unit (see above) (b) $31.56 $9.32
$1040
0
Units completed and transferred out:
Units transferred to the next department (a) 1300 1300
Cost per equivalent unit (see above) (b) $31.56 $9.32
Cost of units transferred out (a)x(b) $41,028 $12,116
$53,14

EXERCISE 4-5 (Appendix 4A) Computation of Equivalent Units-FIFO Methods
[LO5]

Answer :
Materials Conversion
To complete beginning work in process:
Materials : 400 (100%-75%) 100
Conversion : 400 (100%-25%) 300
Units started and completed during the process 42,600 42,600
Ending work in process :
Materials : 500 x 80% complete 400
Conversion : 500 x 30% complete 150
Equivalent units of production 43,100 43,050

EXERCISE 4-6 (Appendix 4A) Cost per Equivalent Unit-FIFO Method [L06]

Answer :

Materials Labor Overhead Total


Cost added during the period (a) $193,320 $62,000 $310,000
Equivalent units of production(b) 27,000 25,000 25,000
Cost per equivalent unit (a)/(b) $7.16 $2.48 $12.4 22.04
EXERCISE 4-7 (Appendix 4A) Applying Costs to units-FIFO Method [LO7]

Answer :
Materials Conversion Total
Ending work in process inventory :
Equivalent units of production(a) 800 200
Cost per equivalent unit (see above) (b) $4.40 $1.30
Cost of ending work in process inventory (a)x(b) $3520 $260 $3780
Units transferred out :
Cost in beginning work in process inventory $2,700 $380 $3080
Cost to complete the units in beginning work
in process inventory :
