Materials are added at the beginning of the process andconversion costs are added uniformly throughout the process. During September, 10,000units were completed and transferred to the finished goods inventory and there were2,000 units that were 25% complete in the ending work in process inventory onSeptember 30. During September, manufacturing costs charged to the department were:Materials $690,000; Conversion costs $765,000.The cost assigned to the units transferred to finished goods during September was

Answer 1

Answer:

135,000 transferred out under Weighted average method

Explanation:

W/A method:

equivalent units materials 10,000 + 2,000 = 12,000 units at 100%

material cost: 690,000  + 30,000 = 720,000

720,000 / 12,000 = 60

equivalent units conversion 10,000 + 500 = 10,500

conversion cost 22,500 + 765,000 = 787,500

787,500 / 10,500 = 75

75 + 60 = 135 cost per unit

10,000 x 135 = 135,000 transferred out
