Sparky Corporation uses the weighted-average method of process costing. The following information is available for February in its Molding Department:. Units:
Beginning Inventory: 30,000 units, 100% complete as to materials and 55% complete as to conversion.
Units started and completed: 120,000.
Units completed and transferred out: 150,000.
Ending Inventory: 32,500 units, 100% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion.
Costs:
Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $48,000.
Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $53,850.
Costs incurred in February - Direct Materials: $328,050.
Costs incurred in February - Conversion: $604,150.
Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.
a. $2.06
b. $2.08
c. $1.78
d. $2.40
e. $2.69

the cost per equivalent unit of materials is a. $2.06.

Explanation:

Step 1 : Calculate the total equivalent units of production for raw materials.

Units completed and transferred (150,000 × 100%)       = 150,000

Units in Ending Work in process (32,500 × 100%)          =  32,500

Total equivalent units of production for raw materials   = 182,500

Step 2 : Calculated the total raw material costs incurred during the period.

Raw material cost in Beginning Work in Process         =   $48,000

Add Raw Materials Cost Incurred during the period    = $328,050

Total raw material costs incurred                                   = $376,050

Step 3 : Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.

Cost per equivalent unit = Total raw material costs incurred  ÷ Total equivalent units of production for raw materials

                                        = $376,050 ÷ 182,500

                                        = $2.06

rational decision making is a multi-step process for making choices between alternatives. the process of rational decision making favors logic, objectivity, and analysis over subjectivity and insight. the word “rational” in this context does not mean sane or clear-headed as it does in the colloquial sense.
