Using weighted average method-compute direct materials cost


During April, the production department of a process manufacturing system completed a number of units of a product and transferred them to finished goods. Of these transferred units, 57,000 were in process in the production department at the beginning of April and 220,000 were started and completed in April. April's beginning inventory units were 50% complete with respect to materials and 50% complete with respect to labor. At the end of April, 62,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 60% complete with respect to materials and 40% complete with respect to labor.

The production department had $800,000 of direct materials and $300,000 of direct labor cost charged to it during April. Also, its beginning inventory included $90,000 of direct materials cost and $30,000 of direct labor.

1. Using the weighted-average method, compute the direct materials cost and the direct labor cost per equivalent unit for the department.
