Assume the following information: Percent Complete Milling DepartmentUnits Materials Conversion Beginning work in process inventory 200 40% 30% Units started into production during March 6,200 Units completed during the period and transferred to the next department 5,800 100% 100% Ending work in process inventory 600 70% 60% Milling Cost of beginning work in process inventory$10,000 $15,000 Costs added during the period 290,000 385,000 Total cost$300,000 $400,000 Using the weighted-average method, the total cost of the units completed during the period and transferred out to the next department with respect to materials is closest to:. a. $46.95
b. $44.95
c. $50.35
d. $43.35

M. cotteleer electronics supplies microcomputer circuitry to a company that incorporates microprocessors into refrigerators and other home appliances. one of the components has an annual demand of 235 units, and this is constant throughout the year. carrying cost is estimated to be $1.25 per unit per year, and the ordering (setup) cost is $21 per order. a) to minimize cost, how many units should be ordered each time an order is placed? b) how many orders per year are needed with the optimal policy? c) what is the average inventory if costs are minimized? d) suppose that the ordering cost is not $21, and cotteleer has been ordering 125 units each time an order is placed. for this order policy (of q = 125) to be optimal, determine what the ordering cost would have to be.
