During March, 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 March and 110,000 that were started and completed in March. March's beginning inventory units were 100% complete with respect to materials and 50% complete with respect to labor. At the end of March, 39,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 100% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to labor. The production department incurred direct labor cost of $581,000 and its beginning inventory included labor cost of $56,400. Compute the direct labor cost per equivalent unit for the department using the weighted average method.

Answer 1

Units Transferred 110000+35000	145000
39000*30%	11700
Total EUP	156700
Beginning Inventory	56,400
Costs Incurred	581000
Total	637,400
Direct Labor Cost per Equivalent	637400/156700
	4.07
