Chapter 6, Problem 46E
Weighted Average Method, Unit Costs, Valuing Inventories
Byford Inc. produces a product that passes through two processes. During November, equivalent units were calculated using the weighted average method:
The costs that Byford had to account for during the month of November were as follows:
Required:
- 1. Using the weighted average method, determine unit cost.
- 2. Under the weighted average method, what is the total cost of units transferred out? What is the cost assigned to units in ending inventory?
- 3. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Bill Johnson, the manager of Byford, is considering switching from weighted average to FIFO. Explain the key differences between the two approaches and make a recommendation to Bill about which method should be used.
