Superior Micro Products uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. During January, the Delta Assembly Department completed its processing of 26,800 units and transferred them to the next department. The cost of beginning work in process inventory and the costs added during January amounted to $662,560 in total. The ending work in process inventory in January consisted of 4,000 units, which were 50% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to labor and overhead. The costs per equivalent unit for the month were as follows:
Materials Labor Overhead
Cost per equivalent unit $12.70 $4.00 $6.60
Required:1. Compute the equivalent units of materials, labor, and overhead in the ending work in process inventory for the month.2. Compute the cost of ending work in process inventory for materials, labor, overhead, and in total for January.3. Compute the cost of the units transferred to the next department for materials, labor, overhead, and in total for January.4. Prepare a cost reconciliation for January.

Answer:

1. Units of Ending work in process

4,000 2,000 1,200 1,200

2. Cost of Ending WIP $25,400 $4,800 $7,920

Total for January $38,120

3.Cost of Units transferred

$340,360 $107,200 $176,880

Total in January $624,440

4. Costs to be accounted for $662,560

Total cost accounted for $662,560

Explanation:

1. Compute the equivalent units of materials, labor, and overhead

Equivalent units of production (EUP) in the Ending work in process - Weighted Average method

Units %Material EUP-Material % Labor EUP- Labor % Overhead EUP- Overhead

Units of Ending work in process

4,000 50% 2,000 30% 1,200 30% 1,200

2. Computation for the cost of ending work in process for January

Computation of Ending Work in process inventory

Materials Labor Overhead

Equivalent units 2,000 1,200 1,200

×Cost per equivalent unit $12.70 $4.00 $6.60

=Cost of Ending WIP $25,400 $4,800 $7,920

Total for January $38,120

3. Computation of the cost of the units transferred to the next department

Computation of Cost of the units transferred

Materials Labor Overhead Total for January

Equivalent units (26,800*100%) 26,800 26,800 26,800

×Cost per equivalent unit $12.70 $4.00 $6.60

=Cost of Units transferred

$340,360 $107,200 $176,880 Total in January $624,440

4. Preparation of a cost reconciliation for January.
