5,820 equivalent units.
How many equivalent units were there for the ending Work in Process?
540 equivalent units (900 units × 60%).
How do you compute equivalent units of production using the weighted-average method?
To compute equivalent units using the weighted-average method, add the units completed and transferred out to the equivalent units in ending work in process inventory.

How are overhead costs applied to Work in Process in Department A and Department B?
Overhead costs are applied to Work in Process in Department A and Department B through the 'Applied Overhead' entries in their respective T-accounts.
What is a cost reconciliation report in process costing?
A cost reconciliation report accounts for the total costs to be accounted for and the total costs accounted for, ensuring they match.
How do you compute the cost of ending Work in Process Inventory using FIFO?
540 equivalent units for materials × 14.4617
What is the cost of units transferred out for conversion?
$81,000
What are the two stages in Sunspot Beverages' production process?
Fruit juices are extracted from fresh fruits and then blended in the Blending Department, followed by the Bottling Department.
How many units were started and completed during the period?
5,100 units.
How is 'actual overhead' different from 'applied overhead'?
Actual overhead refers to the real overhead costs incurred, while applied overhead is the estimated overhead assigned to work in process.
How is the cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs calculated?
By dividing the total conversion costs by the equivalent units of production.
How many units were completed during June?
5,400 units.
How are costs assigned to units in process costing?
Costs are assigned to units by multiplying the number of equivalent units by the cost per equivalent unit.
What is 'Manufacturing Overhead' in the context of process costing?
Manufacturing Overhead includes all indirect costs associated with production, such as utilities, maintenance, and factory supplies.

40% complete.
What is the role of 'Direct Labor' in the Work in Process T-account?
Direct labor represents the labor costs directly associated with the production of goods in the Work in Process account.
What percentage of completion for materials and conversion was the ending work in process in the Blending Department?
75% for materials and 25% for conversion.
How many units were in the Ending Work in Process Inventory?
900 units.
What is the weighted-average method in process costing?
The weighted-average method combines costs and equivalent units of a period with those in beginning inventory to calculate a cost per equivalent unit.
What are equivalent units in process costing?
Equivalent units are the number of complete units that could have been obtained from the materials and effort that went into partially complete units.
