Carmelita Inc., has the following information available:

Costs from Beginning Inventory Costs from Current Period
Direct materials $4,500 $26,500
Conversion costs 5,600 149,400

At the beginning of the period, there were 400 units in process that were 40% complete as to conversion costs and 100% complete as to direct materials costs. During the period, 4,700 units were started and completed. Ending inventory contained 400 units that were 34% complete as to conversion costs and 100% complete as to materials costs. Assume that the company uses the FIFO process cost method. Round cost per unit figures to two cents, i.e., $2.22, when calculating total costs. The total costs that will be transferred into Finished Goods for units started and completed were:___________

Answer:

$162,761

Explanation:

beginning WIP:

400 units 100% complete for materials, so 0% will be added during the period

400 units 40% complete for conversion, so 60% will be added during the period = 240 equivalent units

units started and completed:

4,700 units 100% complete for materials and conversion

ending WIP:

400 units 100% complete for materials = 400 equivalent units

400 units 34% complete for conversion = 136 equivalent units

materials cost per equivalent unit = $26,500 / (4,700 + 400) = $5.20

conversion cost per equivalent unit = $149,400 / (4,700 + 240 + 136) = $29.43

total costs per equivalent unit = $34.63

total costs for units started and completed during the period = 4,700 x $34.63 = $162,761
