PROBLEM 4-16:

Interpreting a Report – Weight-average method

1. Equivalent units for the month

Quantities Physical units Equivalent units

Materials Conversion

Units to be account for

Work in process, beginning 30,000

Started into Production 200,000

Total units 230,000

Units accounted for

Transferred out 190,000 190,000 190,000

Work in process, ending 40,000 30,000 (75% complete) 24,000 (60% complete)

Total units 230,000 220,000 214,000

2. Cost per equivalent unit

Unit costs Material Conversion Total

Work in process $67,800 $30,200 $98,000

Costs in month $579,000 $248,000 $827,000

Total cost $646,800 $278,000 $925,000

Equivalent units $220,000 $214,000

Cost per unit $2.94 $1.3 $4.24

$2.94 = 646,800 / 220,000

$1.30 = 278,000 / 214,000

$4.24 = 2.94 + 1.30

3. Units started and completed during April

= 190,000 - 30,000 = 160,000 units

4. No. The manager should not be rewarded. In weighted-average method, the costs of prior period get mixed with the costs of current period. Thus if cost in March is $2.5 and in April is $3.0, the average cost would be less than $3.0 in the weighted-average method.
