During the month the department started 86,000 units and transferred 88,000 units to the next manufacturing department. At the end of the month, the department had 21,000 units in inventory, 80% complete as to materials and 60% complete as to conversion. How many units did the Forming Department start and complete in the current month

Respuesta :

Answer:

Units stated and completed during the month= 65,000

Explanation:

The units stated and completed in the current period is referred to as the fully worked.

Using the first in first out (FIFO) approach, the fully worked is calculated as

Fully worked = newly introduced -closing inventory

= 86,000- 21,000 = 65000

Note that out of the 86,000 that were completed in the period, it assumed that 23,000 representing the opening inventory would first be completed and the balance would from the newly introduced.

Another way to determine the fully worked is as follows

Fully worked = transferred out - opening inventory

Fully worked = 88,000- 23,000 = 65,000

Units stated and completed during the month= 65,000
