Of the RM3, 400 total costs for direct materials, what amount will be transferred out?
A
RM3400
B
RM300
C
RM1200
D
RM3100
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -To calculate the goods transferred out, simply take the units transferred out times the sum of the two equivalent unit costs (materials and conversion) because all items transferred to the next department are complete with respect to materials and conversion, so each unit brings all its costs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transferred-in cost is also referred to as the accumulated cost of a product when it first arrives in the production department. The unit cost of a product is determined by dividing the total costs charged to the production department by the output of that department.

Detailed explanation-3: -Direct materials. Add the total cost of materials purchases in the period to the cost of beginning inventory, and subtract the cost of ending inventory. The result is the cost of direct materials incurred during the period.

Detailed explanation-4: -The total cost assigned to units transferred out equals the cost per equivalent unit times the number of equivalent units.
