The assembly division of Stiles Watches, Inc. uses the FIFO method of process costing. Consider the following data for the month of May

2017:

Requirement

Summarize the total costs to account for, calculate the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs, and assign costs to units completed (and transferred out) and to units in ending work in process.

Begin by summarizing the total costs to account for.

	Total	Direct	Conversion
	Production Costs	Materials	Costs
(1)
(2)
Total costs to account for

Next, calculate cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion costs.

		Direct	Conversion
		Materials	Costs
(3)
Divide by	(4)
Cost per equivalent unit

Finally, assign total costs to units completed (and transferred out) and to units in ending work in process (WIP). Begin by calculating the total from beginning inventory, then calculate the total costs accounted for.

	Total	Direct	Conversion
	Production Costs	Materials	Costs
Completed and transferred out:
(5)
(6)
Total from beginning inventory

(7)
Total costs of units completed and transferred out
(8)
Total costs accounted for

1: Data Table

	Physical Units	Direct	Conversion
	(Watches)	Materials	Costs

Beginning work in process (May 1)a	60	$249,750	$100,400
Started in May 2017	478
Completed during May 2017	443
Ending work in process (May 31)b	95
Total costs added during May 2017		$2,598,000	$1,251,600

a Degree of completion: direct materials, 80%; conversion costs, 25%.

b Degree of completion: direct materials, 40%; conversion costs, 20%.

2: Reference

	Equivalent Units
	Direct	Conversion
Flow of Production	Materials	Costs
Completed and transferred out during current period:
From beginning work in process	12	45
Started and completed	383	383
Work in process, ending	38	19
Equivalent units of work done in current period	433	447
