Chapter $6$ Process Costing $-$ Weighted Average Method

Trusses$-$R$-$Us Company has a department that manufactures wood trusses used in the construction industry. The

following information is for the production of these trusses for the month of February:

Using the weighted$-$average method, calculate the following:

Costs per equivalent unit

Cost of goods completed and transferred out

Costs remaining in the ending WIP inventory account

Assume that you are the company's controller. The production department's February equivalent unit cost is higher

than expected. If the manager of the first department asks you to do him a favor by increasing the ending inventory

completion percentage from $40$ to $60$ percent, to lower the unit costs, what should you do$?$ How much would unit cost be

affected by this request?
