Information on work in the first department, Cooking, is given below for May: 81,000 460,000 ? Production data: Pounds in process, May 1; materials 100% complete; conversion 90% complete Pounds started into production during May Pounds completed and transferred out Pounds in process, May 31; materials 80% complete; conversion 20% complete Cost data: Work in process inventory, May 1: Materials cost Conversion cost Cost added during May: Materials cost Conversion cost 55,000 $158,200 $ 50,500 $822,300 $277,520 Required: 1. Compute the equivalent units of production for materials and conversion for May. 2. Compute the cost per equivalent unit for materials and conversion for May. 3. Compute the cost of ending work in process inventory for materials, conversion, and in total for May. 4. Compute the cost of units transferred out to the next department for materials, conversion, and in total for May. 5. Prepare a cost reconciliation report for May.

Required 1 Required 2 Required 3 Required 4 Required 5 Prepare a cost reconciliation report for May. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.) Cost Reconciliation Costs to be accounted for: Total cost to be accounted for Costs accounted for as follows: Total cost accounted for
1) Equivalent unit
Material | Conversion cost | |
Unit transferred out | 486000 | 486000 |
Ending WIP | 55000*80% = 44000 | 11000 |
Equivalent unit | 530000 | 497000 |
2) Cost per equivalent unit
Material | Conversion | |
Beginning WIP | 158200 | 50500 |
Cost added | 822300 | 277520 |
Total Cost | 980500 | 328020 |
Equivalent unit | 530000 | 497000 |
Cost per equivalent unit | 1.85 | 0.66 |
3) Cost of ending WIP
Material | Conversion | Total | |
Cost of ending WIP | 44000*1.85 = 81400 | 11000*.66 = 7260 | 88660 |
4) Cost of unit transferred out
Material | Conversion | Total | |
Cost of unit transferred out | 899100 | 320760 | 1219860 |
5) Cost reconciliation
Cost to be accounted for | |
Beginning WIP | 208700 |
Cost added | 1099820 |
Total Cost to be accounted for | 1308520 |
Cost accounted for as follows | |
Cost of unit transferred out | 1219860 |
Cost of ending WIP | 88660 |
Total Cost accounted for | 1308520 |
