Question

Weighted Average Method, Unit Cost, Valuing Inventories

Cassien Inc. manufactures products that pass through two or more processes. During June, equivalent units were computed using the weighted average method:

Units completed	74,000
Units in EWIP X Fraction complete (36,000 X 60%)	21,600
Equivalent units of output	95,600
June's costs to account for are as follows:
BWIP (10,000 units, 80% complete)	$50,000
Materials	90,000
Conversion costs	91,000
Total	$231,000

Required:

1. Calculate the unit cost for June using the weighted average method. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
$ per unit

2. Using the weighted average method, determine the cost of EWIP and the cost of the goods transferred out. If required, round unit cost to the nearest cent in intermediate calculations and final answers to the nearest dollar.

Cost of ending work in process	$
Cost of the goods transferred out	$

Answer 1

1. Unit cost = Total cost/Equivalent units of output

= 231,000/95,600

= 2.42 per unit

Cost of ending wip (2.42*21,600)	52,272
Cost of Goods transferred out (2.42*74,000)	179,080
