A.P. Hill Corporation uses a process-costing system. Products are manufactured in a series of three departments. The following data relate to Department Two for the month of February: Beginning work-in-process (70% complete) 10,000 units Goods started in production 80,000 units Ending work-in-process (60% complete) 5,000 units The beginning work-in-process was valued at $66,000, consisting of $20,000 of transferred-in costs, $30,000 of materials costs, and $16,000 of conversion costs. Materials are added at the beginning of the process; conversion costs are added evenly throughout the process. Costs added to production during February were Transferred-in $16,000 Materials used 88,000 Conversion costs 50,000 Question Assume that the company uses the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of inventory valuation. Under FIFO, how much conversion cost did A.P. Hill transfer out of Department Two during February

Respuesta :

Answer:

$64,360

Explanation:

Calculation for how much conversion cost did A.P. Hill transfer out of Department Two during February

First step is to calculate FIFO EUP for conversion

under the FIFO method

Beginning WIP 3,000

(10,000 units × 30%)

Started and completed 75,000

(80,000units-5,000 units=75,000 units)

(75,000 units × 100% )

Ending WIP 3,000

(5,000 units × 60% )

FIFO EUP for conversion 81,000

(3,000+75,000+3,000)

Now let calculate the conversion cost

Conversion cost =$16,000 + [3,000 Beginning WIP +75,000 Started and completed*($50,000/81,000)]

Conversion cost =[$16,000 + (78,000 × $.62)]

Conversion cost=[$16,000 + $48,360

conversion cost=$64,360

Therefore how much conversion cost did A.P. Hill transfer out of Department Two during February will be $64,360
