Which of the following is affected by nonuniform manufacturing inputs?
A)the calculation of equivalent units, unit cost, and valuation of ending work in process
B)only the calculation of equivalent units, and valuation of ending work in process
C)only the valuation of ending work in process
D)only the manufacturing outputs

Question

Nonuniform manufacturing inputs can affect the amount of work needed to complete a unit of production, which is used in the calculation of equivalent units. It can also affect the unit cost calculation since it may require different types or quantities of inputs to produce each unit. Finally, the valuation of ending work in process requires accurate tracking of the inputs used in each unit, and nonuniformity can make this challenging. Therefore, all three of these areas can be affected by nonuniform manufacturing inputs. Option B is incorrect because it only mentions two out of the three affected areas, and option C and D are incorrect because they do not accurately reflect the range of impacts.
