Which of the following is the best explanation for why it is necessary to calculate equivalent units of production in a process costing environment?

The Machining Department started the current month with a beginning goods in process inventory of $10,000. During the month, it was assigned the following costs: direct materials, $76,000; direct labor, $24,000; and factory overhead, 50% of direct labor cost. Also, inventory with a cost of $109,000 was transferred out of the department to the next phase in the process. The ending balance of the Goods in Process Inventory account for the Machining Department is:

Harbor Manufacturing Company uses a process cost accounting system. Materials are added at the beginning of the process. Direct labor and overhead are added evenly throughout the process. The company uses monthly reporting periods for its weighted-average process cost accounting. The following are the operating and cost data information for October. The October 1 beginning Goods in Process Inventory consisted of 20,000 units. The costs for this inventory are $82,500 of direct materials, $24,400 of direct labor, and $48,800 of factory overhead. Factory overhead is applied at 200% of direct labor cost. In addition to the beginning inventory costs, the company issued the following costs into Goods in Process Inventory; direct materials, $240,000; direct labor, $68,000; factory overhead, $136,000. During October, the company completed and transferred 60,000 units of its product to finished goods. At the end of the month, the goods in process inventory consisted of 15,000 units that were 40% complete with respect to direct labor and factory overhead and 100% complete with respect to materials. Prepare the company's process cost summary for October using the weighted average method.

Cost is $271,000.

To determine unit cost under a process cost accounting system, equivalent units produced must be calculated if the company has goods in process inventories.

Process cost accounting systems consider overhead costs to include those costs that cannot be traced to a specific process.

The process cost summary presents calculations of the cost of units completed during the reporting period, but does not present any information about the ending goods in process inventory.

If a process has _______________ or _______________ inventory of partially completed production, equivalent units must be calculated so that total costs incurred during the period are assigned to all units worked on.
