Jane Industries manufactures plastic toys. During​ October, Jane's Fabrication Department started work on 10,400 models. During the​ month, the company completed 11,400 model and transferred them to Distribution Department. The company ended the month with 1,500 models in ending inventory. There were 2,500 models in beginning inventory. All direct materials cost are added at the beginning of the production cycle and conversion costs are added uniformly throughout the production process. The FIFO method of process costing is being followed. models. Beginning work in process was 25% to conversion while ending work in process was 55% completed.

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
