Required:
Assume that the company uses the FIFO method.
1. Determine the equivalent units for June for the first process.
Equivalent Units of Production: Materials Conversion
2. Compute the costs per equivalent unit for June for the first process.
Cost per equivalent unit: Materials Conversion
3. Determine the total cost of ending work in process inventory and the total cost of units transferred to the next process in June.
Materials Conversion Total
Cost of ending work in process inventory
Cost of units transferred out
4. Prepare a report that reconciles the total costs assigned to the ending work in process inventory and the units transferred out with the costs in beginning inventory and costs added during the period.
