Mountain Springs Water Company has two departments, Purifying and Bottling. The Bottling Department had 2,900 liters in beginning work in process inventory (30% complete). During the period, 59,110 liters were completed. The ending work in process was 5,180 liters (70% completed). All inventories are costed by the first-in, first-out method. What is the total equivalent units for direct materials (using the FIFO method) if materials were added at the beginning of the process?

Sagot :

Answer: 61,390 liters

Explanation:

If materials were added at the beginning, they will be 100% accounted for at the end of the process.

Equivalent Units = Units started and completed + Ending inventory

= Units completed - Beginning WIP + Ending inventory

= 59,110 - 2,900 + 5,180

= 61,390 liters
