Production cost report for the  month of February

Inputs :

Beginning Work In Process :

Materials                                                  $18,100

Conversion costs                                   $14,460

Added During the year :

Materials                                              $218,685

Labor                                                      $67,100

Overhead                                               $58,531

Total                                                      $376,876

Outputs :

Completed and Transferred Out        $328,000

Units still in Process                               $48,076

Total                                                      $376,876

Explanation:

Calculation of Equivalent Units of Production with Respect to Materials and Conversion Costs.

1. Materials

Ending Work In Process (11,900 × 100%)                                    11,900

Units Completed and Transferred Out (54,800 × 100%)         54,800

Equivalent Units of Production with Respect to Materials      66,700

2. Conversion Costs

Ending Work In Process (11,900 × 1/5)                                         2,380

Units Completed and Transferred Out (54,800 × 100%)         54,800

Equivalent Units of Production with Respect to Materials       57,180

Calculation of Cost per Equivalent Unit of Production with Respect to Materials and Conversion Costs.

Cost per Equivalent Unit = Total Cost ÷ Total Equivalent Units

1. Materials

Cost per Equivalent Unit = ($18,100 + $218,685) ÷  66,700

                                         = $3.55

2. Conversion Cost

Cost per Equivalent Unit = ($14,460 + $67,100 + $58,531) ÷  57,180

                                         = $2.45

3. Total Cost

Total Cost = Materials + Conversion Cost

                 = $3.55 + $2.45

                 = $6.00

Calculation of Total Cost of Units Completed and Transferred Out and Total Cost of Units still in Process.

Completed and Transferred Out = Units Completed and Transferred Out × Total Cost

                                                      = 54,800 × $6.00

                                                      = $328,000

Units still in Process = Material Cost + Conversion Cost

                                 =  $3.55 × 11,900 + $2.45 × 2,380

                                 = $48,076
