Fabert Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system.The Assembly Department started the month with 16,000 units in its beginning work in process inventory that were 40% complete with respect to conversion costs.An additional 60,000 units were transferred in from the prior department during the month to begin processing in the Assembly Department.During the month 65,000 units were completed in the Assembly Department and transferred to the next processing department.There were 11,000 units in the ending work in process inventory of the Assembly Department that were 50% complete with respect to conversion costs. What were the equivalent units for conversion costs in the Assembly Department for the month?

Mundes Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system.The beginning work in process inventory in its Painting Department consisted of 2,000 units that were 60% complete with respect to materials and 40% complete with respect to conversion costs.The cost of the beginning work in process inventory in the department was recorded as $8,800.During the period, 8,000 units were completed and transferred on to the next department.The costs per equivalent unit for the period were $4.00 for material and $5.00 for conversion costs.The cost of units transferred out during the month was:

Bayas Corporation uses process costing.A number of transactions that occurred in June are listed below. Required: Prepare journal entries for each of the transactions listed above.

Under the weighted-average method, the cost of ending work in process inventory is determined by dividing the equivalent units of production for ending inventory by the cost per equivalent unit for each cost category and then summing the result.

In process costing, the equivalent units computed for materials is generally the same as that computed for conversion costs.

The cost per equivalent unit for conversion costs for the first department for the month is closest to:
