Answer 1

Question 9:

Answer is $40,000

Calculations:

Equivalent units
	Materials	Conversion
Units completed	75,000	75,000
Ending work-in process
[25,000 x 100%]	25,000
[25,000 x 20%]		5,000
Total equivalent units	100,000	80,000
Cost per equivalent unit
	Materials	Conversion
Total cost added	$120,000	$160,000
÷ Equivalent units	100,000	80,000
= Cost per equivalent unit	$1.20	$2.00
Cost of ending work-in process
	Materials	Conversion	Total
Ending work in process unis	25,000	5,000
x Cost per equivalent unit	$1.20	$2.00
= Total cost of ending work-in process	$30,000	$10,000	$40,000

Question 10:

Answer is $221,750

Calculations:

Cost of ending work-in process
	Materials	Labor and Overhead	Total
Ending work in process unis	22,000	20,150
x Cost per equivalent unit	$5.50	$5.00
= Total cost of ending work-in process	$121,000	$100,750	$221,750
