On January 1, the Molding Department had 4,000 dolls in process. These dolls were 100% complete with respect to direct materials and 70% complete with respect to conversion cost. During January, Molding completed 79,000 dolls. On January 31, Molding had 7,000 dolls in work in process. These dolls were 100% complete with respect to direct materials and 25% complete with respect to conversion cost. What are the Molding Department's equivalent units related to materials for January?

Savannah Coffey · Answer 1

B) 86,000

Explanation:

Londing equivalent units related to materials:

the company used Weighted average.

beginning inventory 4,000

completed units 79,000

ending inventory 7,000 100% in regards to materials

As the company used W-A we do no distinction between started and complete and completed.

We will calcualte equivalent units as:

Units completed this period + Units in Ending Work in Process

so: 79,000 x 7,000 x 100% = 86,000
