The company uses the weighted-average cost method in its process costing
system. The ending inventory is 50% complete with respect to conversion
costs.
Required:
1. Compute the equivalent units of production and the cost per
equivalent units for materials and for conversion costs.
2. Determine the cost transferred to finished goods.
3. Determine the amount of cost that should be assigned to the
ending work in process inventory.
