Wcorporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. the beginning work in process inventory in a particular department consisted of 17,000 units. the total cost in the beginning work in process inventory was $24,800. a total of 51,000 units were transferred out of the department during the month. the costs per equivalent unit were computed to be $1.40 for materials and $3.10 for conversion costs. the total cost of the units completed and transferred out of the department was:

Total cost of the units completed and transferred out of the department was $229500.

Explanation:

Given that,

Total units were transferred out of the department during the month = 51,000

costs per equivalent unit for materials = $1.40

costs per equivalent unit for conversion costs  = $3.10

Therefore,

Total cost of the units completed and transferred out of the department was:

= Total units transferred × costs per equivalent unit for materials + Total units transferred × costs per equivalent unit for conversion costs

= 51000 × $1.40 +  51000 × $3.10

= 71400 + 158100

= $229500
