Richards Corporation uses the weighted-average method of process costing. The following information is available for October in its Fabricating Department: Units: Beginning Inventory: 80,000 units, 60% complete as to materials and 20% complete as to conversion. Units started and completed: 250,000. Units completed and transferred out: 330,000. Ending Inventory: 30,000 units, 40% complete as to materials and 10% complete as to conversion. Costs: Costs in beginning Work in Process - Direct Materials: $37,200. Costs in beginning Work in Process - Conversion: $79,700. Costs incurred in October - Direct Materials: $646,800. Costs incurred in October - Conversion: $919,300. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit of materials.

During November, the production department of a process operations system completed and transferred to finished goods 35,000 units that were in process at the beginning of November and 110,000 that were started and completed in November. November's beginning inventory units were 100% complete with respect to materials and 55% complete with respect to conversion. At the end of November, 40,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 100% complete with respect to materials and 30% complete with respect to conversion. Compute the number of equivalent units with respect to conversion for November using the weighted-average method.


A) 145,000.
B) 157,000.
C) 55,500.

Which of the following statements is most accurate?


A) In process costing, estimating the degree of completion of units is usually more accurate for conversion costs than for direct materials.
B) The FIFO method includes the cost of the beginning Work in Process inventory account in calculating cost per equivalent units.
C) The FIFO method computes equivalent units based only on production activity in the current period, ignoring the percentage of completion in beginning Work in Process inventory.
D) The FIFO method of calculating equivalent units of production merges the work and the costs of the beginning inventory with the work and the costs done during the current period.
E) It is not possible for there to be a significant difference between the cost of completed units between the weighted average and the FIFO methods.

B) Companies often use a combination of a process costing and job order costing systems.
C) In most process costing systems, direct materials are added at the beginning of the process while conversion costs are added evenly throughout the manufacturing process.
D) All of the work to make a unit 100% complete and ready to move to the next stage of production or to finished goods inventory may not have been completed in a single time period.
E) In most cases, there is no difference between physical units and equivalent units of production.
