Weighted average method


Problem: A department adds materials at the beginning of the process and incurs conversion costs uniformly throughout the process. For the month of May, there was no beginning work in process; 20,000 units were completed and transferred out; and there were 5,000 units in the ending work in process that were 40% complete. During May, $50,000 materials costs and $66,000 conversion costs were charged to the department. How much are unit production costs for materials and conversion costs for May if the weighted average method is used?
