Ferris Corporation makes a powdered rug shampoo in two sequential departments, Compounding and Drying. Materials are added at the be-ginning of the process in the Compounding Department. Conversion costs are added evenly through-out each process. Ferris uses the weighted average method of process costing. In the Compounding Department, beginning work-in-process was 6,000 pounds (70% processed), 38,000 pounds were started in process, 36,000 pounds transferred out, and ending work-in-process was 60% processed. Calculate equivalent units for March 2019 for the Compounding Department.

    Materials = 44,000

    Conversion = 40,800

    Explanation:

    Step 1 Determine the Number of Closing Work In Process Units

    Closing Work In Process Units = Opening Work In Process Units + Units started in process - Units transferred out

    = 6,000 + 38,000 - 36,000

    = 8,000

    Step 2 Determine the equivalent units for March 2019

    Materials:

    Note : Materials are added at the be-ginning of the process, therefore Units Transferred Out and Closing Work In Process are 100% complete in terms of materials

    Closing Work In Process Units - 100% = 8,000

    Units transferred out - 100% = 36,000

    Total equivalent units = 44,000

    Conversion:

    Note : Ending work-in-process was 60% processed, therefore 60% completed in terms of conversion costs

    Closing Work In Process Units - 60% = 4,800

    Units transferred out - 100% = 36,000

    Total equivalent units = 40,800
