The beginning work in process had materials cost of $2,840 and conversion costs of $950. The units in ending inventory were 40% complete. Materials are entered at the beginning of the painting process. How many units are in process at May 31? Work in process, May 31 units LINK TO TEXT LINK TO TEXT LINK TO TEXT VIDEO: SIMILAR EXERCISE What is the unit materials cost for May? (Round unit cost to 2 decimal places, e.g. 2.25.) The unit materials cost for May

Answer 1

1) Work in process, May 31 = 500+1600-1500 = 600 Units

2) Equivalent unit of material = 1500+600 = 2100

Unit material cost = (2840+7030)/2100 = 4.70

3) Equivalent unit of conversion = 1500+(600*40%) = 1740

Unit conversion cost = (950+5648+1580)/1740 = 4.70

4) Total cost of unit transferred out = 9.4*1500 = 14100

5) Work in process = (600*4.7+240*4.7) = 3948
