The ending inventory has 83,000 units, which are 100 percent complete for Department R costs. Required: a. Assume that Saline Solutions used weighted-average process costing and that the cost per equivalent unit for May for materials in Department S is $6.40 and for conversion costs it is $2.40. Prepare a production cost report for Saline Solutions' Department S for the month of May. b. What is the cost of product transferred out of Department S for May

Total unit cost $8.80

Total Costs Transferred out $730,400

Explanation:

In Process Costing we find the individual unit costs and total costs transferred by multiplying it with the equivalent no of units.

As the units are 100 percent complete the Equivalent units are 83,000 units for both materials and conversion.

Saline Solutions

Weighted-Average Process

Materials in Department S $6.40

Conversion costs Department S $2.40

Total unit cost $8.80

Total No of units 83,000

Total Costs $8.80

Total Cost Transferred Out $730,400

Total Costs Transferred to Materials = $ 6.4 * 83,000=$ 531200

Total Costs Transferred to Conversion = $ 2.4 * 83,000=$ 199200

Total Costs Transferred = $ 531200+$ 199200 = $ 730400
