Mundes Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The beginning work in process inventory in its Painting Department consisted of 3,300 units that were 60% complete with respect to materials and 40% complete with respect to conversion costs. The cost of the beginning work in process inventory in the department was recorded as $10,100. During the period, 9,300 units were completed and transferred on to the next department. The costs per equivalent unit for the period were $5.30 for material and $6.30 for conversion costs. The cost of units transferred out during the month was:a.$63,200
b.$40,000
c.$80,800
d.$72,000

The cost of units transferred out during the month was $107,880 (none of the suggested answers)

Explanation:

The cost of units transferred out during the month was

Units Completed and Transferred are always 100% complete in terms of input components therefore

Equivalent Units of Units Completed and Transferred = Physical Units of Units Completed

9,300 units were completed and transferred on to the next department

First Calculate Total Cost per Equivalent Unit

materials     $5.30

conversion  $6.30

total             $11.60

Then, Calculate cost of units transferred out during the month was

cost of units transferred out  = Units Completed × Total Cost per Equivalent Unit

                                               = 9,300 units × $11.60

                                               = 107,880

the answer should be a)
