The production department in a process manufacturing system completed 72,000 units of product and transferred them to finished goods during a recent period. Of these units, 28,800 were in process at the beginning of the period. The other 43,200 units were started and completed during the period. At period-end, 17,100 units were in process.
Exercise 16-4 Weighted average: Computing equivalent units LO C2

The Fields Company has two manufacturing departments, forming and painting. The company uses the weighted-average method of process costing. At the beginning of the month, the forming department has 27,000 units in inventory, 70% complete as to materials and 30% complete as to conversion costs. The beginning inventory cost of $56,100 consisted of $40,000 of direct materials costs and $16,100 of conversion costs.
During the month, the forming department started 320,000 units. At the end of the month, the forming department had 35,000 units in ending inventory, 80% complete as to materials and 40% complete as to conversion. Units completed in the forming department are transferred to the painting department.
Cost information for the forming department is as follows:
Beginning work in process inventory | $ | 62,100 |
Direct materials added during the month | 1,660,000 | |
Conversion added during the month | 929,300 | |
