Work in Progress: The term “work in progress” is a reference to the value of products that are in the pipeline. The value of the work in progress items is represented as complete items (equivalent cost) for the ease of calculation.
Answer:
– Work in process, May 31 = 600 + 1800 – 1600 = 800 units
– Equivalent unit of material = 800 + 1600 = 2400
The unit materials cost for May = (2640 + 6960) / 2400 = $4
– Equivalent unit of conversion = 1600+(800 x 40%) = 1920
The unit conversion cost for May = (1250 + 4550 + 1880)/1920 = $4
– The total cost of units transferred out in May = (4 + 4) x 1600 = $12800
– Work in process = (800 x 4) + ( 320 x 4) = $4480
