Builder Products, Inc., uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. It manufactures a caulking compound that goes through three processing stages prior to completion. Information on work in the first department, Cooking, is given below for May: Production data: Pounds in process, May 1; materials 100% complete; conversion 80% complete 10,000 Pounds started into production during May 100,000 Pounds completed and transferred out ? Pounds in process, May 31; materials 60% complete; conversion 20% complete 15,000 Cost data: Work in process inventory, May 1: Materials cost $ 1,500 Conversion cost $ 7,200 Cost added during May: Materials cost $ 154,500 Conversion cost $ 90,800 Required: 1. Compute the equivalent units of production for materials and conversion for May. 2. Compute the cost per equivalent unit for materials and conversion for May. 3. Compute the cost of ending work in process inventory for materials, conversion, and in total for May. 4. Compute the cost of units transferred out to the next department for materials, conversion, and in total for May. 5. Prepare a cost reconciliation report for May.

1) equivalent units of production for materials and conversion cost

Material                                   104,000

conversion cost                       98,000  

2)cost per equivalent unit for materials and conversion

Material                                   1.5

conversion cost                      1.0

3)cost of ending work in process inventory for materials, conversion, and in total

Material                        15000*0.6           9,000

conversion cost           15000*0.2           3,000

answer; i believe the correct answer is (180)

answer: a. the kind of population living in your neighbourhood.

the census explorer data tool by the us census bureau allows the user to zoom in on any neighbourhood within the united states and find the kind of people residing in that by race and age.  

the tool needs to needs to be used twice – once in order to find what type of people reside in a neighbourhood, and then to see the age groups of the people in the same neighbourhood.
