If ending work in process contains 300 units that are 40% complete the number of equivalent units is ______.
120 = 300 x 0.4
When ending work in process contains 500 units that are 34% completed, there are ____ equivalent units.

A company transferred 150 units to finished goods and has 215 units in ending work in process inventory that are 60% complete. Using weighted-average costing, the number of equivalent units is ______.

Canners Company uses weighted-average costing. Beginning work in process inventory had $3,650 of material costs. During the period, $5,000 of materials and $9,250 in conversion costs were added. If there are 250 equivalent units of production for materials, the cost per equivalent unit for materials is ______.
34.60 = (3650+5000) / 250
Costs in beginning work in process inventory was $4,500 and $37,800 in costs were added during the period. If there are 7,050 equivalent units, the cost per equivalent unit under the weighted-average method is $
6 = (4500+37800) / 7050

work in process

debit
The journal entry to record the transfer of completed units to finished goods is _____ finished goods and ____ work in process
debit, credit
Operations costing is similar to job-order costing because ______.
each batch is charged for its own specific materials
To report ending inventory, partially completed units are translated into ____ number of partially completed units x percentage completion
equivalent or equal units
Equivalent units of production under the weighted-average method equal ______.
equivalent units in ending work in process plus units transferred out
Operations costing is similar to process costing because ______.
labor and overhead costs are accumulated by operation or department
Job-order costing is used for ______.
many different products with unique production requirements
Products such as clothing that are produced in batches by can vary considerably from model to model may use ____ costing.
operation
Process costing accumulates costs by

Work is performed on products, and materials, labor, and overhead costs are added to products in a ___ department.
processing OR operating OR assembly
Which of the following is not a characteristic of operation costing?
products are homogeneous
Methods to calculate departmental unit costs include ______.
weighted average and FIFO
Equivalent units of production equals the number of units transferred to the next department (or finished goods) plus equivalent units in ending work in process under which method(s) of costing?
weighted average only
A company's beginning work in process contained 200 units that were 20% complete. Those units were completed and transferred to finished goods. During the period 4,300 units were started. Of the units started, 4,000 were transferred to finished goods. The 300 units in ending work in process were 30% complete. Using the weighted-average method, the equivalent units of production equals ______.
