Problem 5-16 (Algo) Comprehensive ProblemWeighted-Average Method [LO5-2, LO5-3, LO5-4, LO5-5]

Builder Products, Incorporated, uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. It manufactures a caulking compound that goes through three processing stages prior to completion. Information on work in the first department, Cooking, is given below for May:

Production data:
Pounds in process, May 1; materials 100% complete; conversion 90% complete	84,000
Pounds started into production during May	490,000
Pounds completed and transferred out	?
Pounds in process, May 31; materials 60% complete; conversion 40% complete	44,000
Cost data:
Work in process inventory, May 1:
Materials cost	$ 130,200
Conversion cost	$ 21,100
Cost added during May:
Materials cost	$ 676,580
Conversion cost	$ 115,800

Required:

1. Compute the equivalent units of production for materials and conversion for May.

2. Compute the cost per equivalent unit for materials and conversion for May.

3. Compute the cost of ending work in process inventory for materials, conversion, and in total for May.

4. Compute the cost of units transferred out to the next department for materials, conversion, and in total for May.
