Berry Corporation began making scented body lotion in March of the current year. There is only one process in the manufacture of this product, and in March the costs of production were $24,600 for materials and $35,730 for processing. During the month, 12,300 pints of materials were placed in production. At the end of March, 1,250 pints of materials were still being processed and were 70% complete. Assume that all materials were added at the beginning of the production process. Given this information, the number of equivalent units for the conversion costs is:
11,925
875
11,050
12,300
During January, the Farnell Furniture Company produced 30,000 high-quality furniture sets: 7,500 from the January 1 work-in-process inventory and 22,500 from units started during the month. The January 30 work-in-process inventory consisted of 7,000 units 50% complete as to direct materials and 40% finished as to conversion costs. The January 1 inventory of work-in-process was 50% finished as to direct materials and conversion costs. The number of units started in production during January was:
22,000
22,500
29,500
30,000
In production, 100 units in a process that are 30% complete are referred to as:
70 equivalent units of production
30 equivalent units of production
100 equivalent units of production
130 equivalent units of production
A department adds all raw materials at the very beginning of the process and incurs conversion costs evenly throughout the process. For the month of March, there were no units in the beginning work-in-process inventory; 5,000 units were started in March, and there were 1,500 units that were 60% complete in the ending work-in-process inventory at the end of March. What were the equivalent units of production for conversion costs for the month of March?
5,000 equivalent units
3,500 equivalent units
4,100 equivalent units
4,400 equivalent units
