Question:

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, 58,000 were in process in the production department at the beginning of April and 210,000 were started and completed in April. April's beginning inventory units were 50% complete with respect to materials and 50% complete with respect to conversion. At the end of April, 66,000 additional units were in process in the production department and were 70% complete with respect to materials and 40% complete with respect to conversion.

1. Compute the number of units transferred to finished goods.

2. Compute the number of equivalent units with respect to both materials used and conversion used in the production department for April using the weighted-average method.

Weighted-average Method:

The weighted-average method of process costing differs from the first-in, first-out method in computing for the equivalent units and the cost incurred to be divided into the equivalent units.
