f. What is the total cost of units remaining in ending WIP?

$204,300

Explanation:

a. What are the total equivalent units for direct materials?

Completed and Transferred (107,000 × 100%) = 107,000 units

Ending Work In Process (45,400 × 100%)         = 45,400 units

Total equivalent units                                         = 152,400 units

b. What are the total equivalent units for conversion costs?

Completed and Transferred (107,000 × 100%) = 107,000 units

Ending Work In Process (45,400 × 50%)           = 22,700 units

Total equivalent units                                         = 129,700 units

c. What is the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials?

Total Direct Materials Cost

Beginning Work In Process $53,200

Added                                   $442,100

Total Direct Materials          $495,300

Cost per equivalent unit =  Total Direct Materials Cost / total equivalent units for direct materials

                                         = $495,300/ 152,400 units

                                         = $3.25

d. What is the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs?

Total conversion costs

Beginning Work In Process $19,600

Added                                   $304,650

Total conversion costs         $324,250

Cost per equivalent unit =  Total conversion costs / total equivalent units for conversion

                                          =$324,250/ 129,700 units

                                         = $2.50

e. What is the total cost of units completed and transferred out?

Raw Materials ( $3.25 × 107000) = $347,750

Conversion($2.50 × 107000) =       $267,500

Total                                                  $615,250

f. What is the total cost of units remaining in ending WIP?

Raw Materials ( $3.25 × 45,400) = $147,550

Conversion($2.50 × 22,700)       =  $56,750

Total                                                 $204,300
