Answer:
Option (a) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Direct materials costs = $70,700
Total units completed = 11,400
Beginning WIP units = 2,500
units in Ending WIP = 1,500
Units started and completed during the period:
= Total units completed - Beginning WIP units
= 11,400 - 2,500
= 8900 units
Equivalent unit of material:
= (Beginning WIP units × 0%) + (Units started and Completed × 100%) + (units in Ending WIP × 100%)
= (2,500 × 0%) + (8,900 × 100%) + (1,500 × 100%)
= 10,400 units
Material Cost per equivalent unit of Materials:
= Material cost added ÷ Equivalent unit of material
= $70,700 ÷ 10,400
= $6.80 per equivalent unit
Therefore,
Direct material cost assigned to ending work in process:
= Ending work in process × Material Cost per equivalent unit of Materials
= 1,500 × $6.80
= $10,200
