Company X uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system and there is no spoilage. Conversion costs are added evenly in the process. Company X presented the following information related to physical units:

• BWIP = 15124 units (45% complete with respect to conversion costs)
• Started during March = 105745 units
• Completed and transferred out = 100000 units

The ending work in process (EWIP) inventory in the department has the following degree of completion in terms of conversion costs:

Company X uses the weighted average method of process costing and there is no spoilage in the process. Direct material are introduced at the start of the process and Conversion costs are added evenly during the process. 

Company X presented the following information regarding physical units:

• Started = 5000 units

Company X presented the following information regarding EUP:

• Total EUP for Direct materials = 6000
• Total EUP for Conversion costs = 5000

The following information is available for Company

X:

• Revenue

  = $400000

• Selling

  price = $40/unit

• Fixed costs = $200000

• Operating

  income before taxes = $100000

How much is the net income after taxes if the

company sells 20000 units, assuming an income tax rate of 20% ?

Company X manufactures a single product. For each unit, $3327 of direct material is used and there is $2000 of direct manufacturing labor at $20 per hour. Manufacturing overhead is applied at $29 per direct manufacturing labor hour.

Calculate the profit earned on 50 units if each unit sells for $9000.

Company X produced 3000 units and presents the following information:

Manufacturing costs

• Variable cost: $150 /unit
• Fixed cost: $166 /unit

Inventory data

• Beginning inventory: 1200 units
