The june 1 work in process inventory consisted of 5,000 units with $16,000 in materials cost and $12,000 in conversion cost. the june 1 work in process inventory was 100% complete with respect to materials and 50% complete with respect to conversion. during june, 37,500 units were started into production. the june 30 work in process inventory consisted of 8,000 units that were 100% complete with respect to materials and 40% complete with respect to conversion. 7. what is the cost of beginning work in process inventory plus the cost added during the period for conversion?

Total cost added including beginning inventory

Raw material = $136,000

Overheads = $180,960

Total = $316,960

Explanation:

As provided the opening Work in process units = 5,000 units

Units started during the period = 37,500 questions

Closing work in process = 8,000 units

That means units produced = opening + additions - closing

= 5,000 + 37,500 - 8,000 = 34,500 units

Provided cost of beginning inventory = $16,000 for raw material and $12,000 for overheads

Also it is 100% complete for raw material and 50% complete for overheads

That means raw material per unit = $16,000/5,000 = $3.20

And the overheads 100% = $12,000 2 = $24,000

Overhead per unit = $24,000/5,000 = $4.80

Therefore, cost added during the period

Shall be

Raw material = 100% = 5,000 + 37,500 = 42,500 $3.20 = $136,000

Overheads = for 34,500 units 100% and remaining 8,000 = 40%

= 34,500 $4.80 + 8,000 $4.80 40%

= $165,600 + $15,360

= $180,960

Total = $316,960
