Question: can you advise if the Conversion cost is the same as overhead? on question 2 the journal entry shows: work in progress...........$,13,5000 overhead cost ...........$13,5000

can you advise if the Conversion cost is the same as overhead? on question 2 the journal entry shows: work in progress...........$,13,5000

overhead cost ...........$13,5000

The text states that the $13,500 is conversion cost so it it the same thing? I ask because number 3 shows: 80,000 x .75 = 60,000 lbs - materials

80,000 x .25 =20,000 lbs - conversion cost

Number 4 asked to calculate the equivalent unit of production for materials

so it was calculated as: Materials - 391,850 so we took that number and divided by the finished goods which is 60,000lbs for materials and came up with $6.53

for umber 5 you asked to do the same but for Conversion.. I'm confused because on sheet you only have Beg bal, materials and overhead so if we do the same our we taking the 20,000lbs conversion cost figure and dividing it by the overhead cost of 287,300?

I hope you understand because to me it looks like the overhead cost is being use as conversion.

I am have an issue with number 5 & 6

can you advise if the Conversion cost is the same as overhead?

\fGroup A Chapter 4 Use the information below and the Work in Process account information to complete the questions for a processing department. The weighted average method is used to account for units and costs. Work In Process - Blending Department Jan Beg Bal $50,050 Materials 391,850 Overhead 287,300 On January 1, the work in process beginning inventory had 70,000 pounds; materials consisted of $36,550 and $13,500 of conversion costs. During the month, 460,000 pounds were started into production. The ending inventory on January 31 was 80,000 pounds, which consisted of 75% completed for materials and 25% conversion costs. 1.
