Sheridan Company has recently tried to improve its analysis for its manufacturing process. Units started into production equaled 18500 and ending work in process equaled 1400 units. Sheridan had no beginning work in process inventory. Conversion costs are applied uniformly throughout production, and all materials are applied at the beginning of the process. How much is the materials cost per unit if ending work in process was 25% complete and total materials costs equaled $62900

$3.40

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question, the materials cost per unit will be calculated thus:

First, we'll calculate the completed units which will be:

= 18500 - 1400

= 17100

Ending inventory = 1400 units

Equivalent Production Unit with respect to Material = (17100 x 100%) + (1400 x 100%)

= 18500 Units

Material Cost Per Unit will be:

= Total Material Cost / Equivalent Production Unit

= $62900 / 18500

= $3.40 per unit

The material cost per unit is $3.40
