Assume the weighted-average method is to be used unless you are told otherwise. computing eup—fifo method brian's frozen pizzas uses fifo process costing. selected production and cost data follow for april 2018. prepping department units to account for: beginning work-in-process, march 31 20,000started in april 45,000 total units to account for : 65,000 units accounted for: completed and transferred out during april: from beginning work-in-process inventory 20,000started and completed during april 30,000ending work-in-process, april 30 15,000total units accounted for 65,000requirements 1. calculate the following: a. on march 31, the prepping department beginning work-in-process inventory was 7596 complete for materials and 55% complete for conversion costs. this means that for the beginning % of the materials % conversion costs were added during april. 96 of the b. on april 30, the prepping department ending work-in-process inventory was 60% complete for materials and 85% complete for conversion costs. this means that for the ending % of the materials % conversion costs were added during april. % of the 2. use the information in the table and the information in requirement 1 to compute the equivalent units of production for direct materials and conversion costs for the prepping department.
