Pureform, Inc., Manufactures a product that passes through two departments. Data for a recent month for the first department follow:

Units Materials Labor Overhead
Work in process, beginning.........5,000 $4,320 $1,040 $1,790
Units started in process..............45,000
Units transferred out..................42,000
Work in process, ending................8, 000
Cost added during the month...................... $52,800 21,500 $32,250

The beginning work in process inventory was 80% complete with respect to materials and 60% complete with respect to labor and overhead. The ending work in process inventory was 75% complete with respect to materials and 50% complete with respect to labor and overhead.
Requires:
1. Assume that the company uses the weighted-average method of accounting for units and costs. Prepare a quantity schedule and a computation of equivalent units for the month for the first department.

Materials Conversion
Units transferred to the next department............42,000 42,000
Work in process,
8,000 units x 75% complete with respect to materials......6,000
8,000 units x 50% complete with respect to conversion...................4, 000
Equivalent units of production......................48, 000 46,000
Ok I don't know if this is correct.

Quantity Schedule:
Units to be accounted for:
Work in process, (materials 80%complete, conversion 60%)...................5, 000
Started into production............45,000
Total units to be accounted for..........50, 000

Units accounted for as follows: .Materials Conversion
Transferred to next dept................42, 000
Work in process, (materials 75% complete, conversion 50%complete)...8,000
Total units accounted for 50,000 (42,000+8,000=50,000)
8,000 units x 75% =6,000 equivalent units
8,000 units x 50%= 4,000 equivalent units

Equivalent units
MATERIALS 48,000 and Conversion 46,000/
