Compute the cost of goods transferred out in August and the cost of work-in-process ending inventory.
Explanation of Solution
Cost of units in ending work-in-
Cost of ending units in work-in-process is found out by multiplying equivalent unit in ending inventory by equivalent cost of ending inventory with respect to materials cost and conversion costs.
Conversion costs:
The total production cost or converting the product from raw material to final product that is ready to be transferred as finished goods, work-in-process or has started are taken into consideration for conversion costs.
Compute the total units for prior department, materials and conversion costs:
