The Polishing Department of Major Company has the following production and manufacturing cost data for September. Materials are entered at the beginning of the process. Production:Beginning Inventory 1,880 units that are 100% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion costs;Units started during the period are 44,300;Ending inventory of 7,200 units 10% complete as to conversion costs. Manufacturing Costs:Beginning Inventory costs, comprised of $21,900 of materials and $37,162 of conversion costs;Materials costs added in Polishing during the month, $214,080;labor and overhead applied in Polishing during the month, $127,600 and $258,440, respectively.

1. Materials = 46,180 and Conversion Costs = 39,700

2.Materials = $5.11 and Conversion Costs = $10.66

3.Transferred Out = $614,715 and Ending work in process = $44,467

Explanation:

First, calculate the number of units completed and transferred to finished goods

Number of units completed and transferred to finished goods = Beginning Inventory Units + Units Started during the Period - Ending Inventory Units

Therefore,

Units completed and transferred =  1,880 + 44,300 - 7,200

                                                         =   38,980

Calculation of Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials and Conversion Costs

1. Materials

Ending Work In Process  (7,200 × 100%)                            =   7,200

Completed and Transferred (38,980 × 100%)                    = 38,980

Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials =  46,180

2. Conversion Costs

Ending Work In Process  (7,200 × 10%)                              =       720

Completed and Transferred (38,980 × 100%)                    = 38,980

Equivalent Units of Production with respect to Materials = 39,700

Calculation of  the unit costs for materials and conversion costs for the month.

Unit Cost = Total Cost ÷ Total Equivalent Units

1. Materials

Unit Cost = ($21,900 + $214,080) ÷ 46,180

                = $5.11 (2 decimal places)

2. Conversion Costs

Unit Cost = ($37,162 + $127,600 + $258,440 ) ÷ 39,700

                = $10.66 (2 decimal places)

3. Total Unit Cost

Total Unit Cost = Materials + Conversion Costs

                         = $5.11 + $10.66

                         = $15.77

Calculation of costs to be assigned to the units transferred out and in process.

Transferred Out = Units Completed and Transferred × Total Unit Cost

                           = 38,980 × $15.77

                           = $614,715

Ending work in process = Materials Cost + Conversion Costs

                                        = ($5.11 × 7,200) + ($10.66 × 720)

                                        = $44,467
