Conversion (7,000 × 70% × $5.30) 25,970
$81,970
Materials added during January from Weaving
Department, 108,000 units $869,400
Direct labor for January 248,134
Factory overhead for January 303,274
Goods finished during January (includes goods in
process, January 1), 109,200 units —
Work in process, January 31, 5,800 units, 30% completed —
A. Prepare a cost of production report for the Cutting Department. If an amount is zero or a blank, enter in "0".
B. Compute and evaluate the change in the costs per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion from the previous month (December).

Total costs to be accounted for   $925,400         $577,378    $1,502,778

B) Materials cost per equivalent unit increased slightly during the period from $8 per EU to $8.05 per EU (0.6% increase). Conversion costs also increased during the period from $5.30 per EU to $5.567528 per EU (5% increase).

Explanation:

beginning WIP 7,000 units

100% completed for materials

70% completed for conversion costs (30% added in this period = 2,100 EU)

beginning WIP costs

materials $81,970

conversion $56,000

units started 108,000

materials added during the period $869,400

conversion costs $551,408

units finished 109,200

units started and finished = 108,000 - 7,000 - 5,800 = 95,200

ending WIP 5,800

100% complete for materials

30% complete for conversion costs (1,740 EU)

total EU:

materials 108,000

conversion 2,100 + 95,200 + 1,740 = 99,040

cost per EU:

materials $869,400 / 108,000 = $8.05

conversion $551,408 / 99,040 = $5.567528

total = $13.617528

ending WIP costs:

5,800 x $8.05 = $46,690

1,740 x $5.567528 = $9,687

total = $56,377

costs of finished units:

(102,200 x $8.05) + $56,000 = $878,710

(95,200 x $5.567528) + (2,100 x $5.567528) + $25,970 = $567,691

total = $1,446,401

i think the answer is a. science center.
