Question 4 - Mercury Inc. produces budget mobile phones at a factory in Mumbai, India. Output is measured in number of units. Materials are added at the beginning of the process in all departments. Mercury uses the weighted average method. During October, the company had the following production data in the processing department:
Work-in-Process Inventory, October 1
9,000 Units (40 percent complete)
Direct materials: $48,000
Conversion Cost: $56,000
During October, 130,000 units were completed and transferred to packaging department.
The following costs were incurred by the processing department during October:
Direct materials: $280,000
Conversion Cost: 451,000
On October 31, 15,000 units that were 60 percent complete remained in the processing department.
Required -
A. Determine equivalent units of production for October for the processing department for Materials and Conversion cost.
B. Determine October's total costs to account for in the processing department.
C. Determine total cost per equivalent unit of production in the processing department for Materials and Conversion Cost.
D. Determine the cost of goods transferred to the packaging department.
