Answer:

Cost of ending inventory= $8,520.6

Total cost  of units transferred out=$99,863

Explanation:

Cost of ending inventory

Cost of items of inventory = cost per equivalent unit × No of units

Cost of items of inventory =  ($9.50×330) +  ($20.40 × 264)= $8,520.6

Total cost of units transferred out

The FIFO method of valuation of working in progress separates the units transferred out into opening inventory and fully worked.

The fully worked represents the units of inventory started and completed in the sames period.

The cost of units transferred out is the sum of h opening inventory and he fully worked. This done below:

Opening inventory = ($9.50 × 360)   + ($20.40×140)= 6276

Transferred of fully worked =  $(9.50 +$20.40) ×  3,130= 93,587

Total cost  of units transferred out =  (6276 +93587)=  $99,863
