7) Comfort chair company manufacturers a standard recliner. During February, the firm's Assembly Department started production of 73,000 chairs. During the month, the firm completed 78,600 chairs, and transferred them to the Finishing Department. The firm ended the month with 10,100 chairs in ending inventory. There were 15,700 chairs in beginning inventory. All direct materials costs are added at the beginning of the production cycle and conversion costs are added uniformly throughout the production process. The FIFO method of process costing is used by Comfort. Beginning work in process was 35% as to conversion costs, while ending work in process was 85% as to conversion costs.
Beginning inventory:
Direct materials $24,400
Conversion costs $36,000
Manufacturing costs added during the accounting period:
Direct materials $168,500
Conversion costs $278,500
Compute the following using FIFOmethod:
- Units completed and transferred out.
- Total cost to account for.
- Equivalent units with respect to direct materials and conversion costs.
- Cost per direct materials equivalent units and cost per conversion cost equivalent units.
- Total cost assigned to units completed and transferred out.
- Total cost assigned to units in ending inventory.
