What is a production cost report

Using weighted average method

Statement of equivalent units

Material Conversion

Units Units

Units transferred out 70,000 70,000

Add: Closing work-in-progress 25,000 6,250

Average divisor 95,000 76,250

Computation of cost per unit

Material Conversion

$ $

Cost of beginning work-in-progress 3,500 16,000

Cost added 25,000 45,000

Total cost 28,500 61,000

Material cost per unit = $28,500

95,000 units

= $0.30 per unit

Conversion cost per unit = $61,000

76,250 units

= $0.80 per unit

Value of units transferred out

Material = 70,000 x $0.30 = $21,000

Conversion = 70,000 x $0.80 = $56,000

Value of closing work-in-progress

Material = 25,000 x $0.30 = $7,500

Conversion = 6,250 x $0.80 = $5,000

Explanation:

In this case, we will obtain the average divisor by adding the ending work-in-progress to the units transferred out. Then, we will determine the total cost of material and conversion ,which is the aggregate of cost of opening work-in -progress and cost added during the year. We also need to obtain the unit cost of material and conversion, which is total cost of material and conversion divided by the average divisor.

Finally, we will value the units transferred out and ending work-in-progress at unit cost of material and conversion.
