    Valuation of output

    $

    Completed units = 2,544,000.

    Closing WIP = 240,480

    Explanation:

    Equivalent unit for conversion cost

    Item units equivalent unit

    Completed 22,200 100% * 22,200 22,200

    Closing WIP 2,2400 80% * 2,400 1,920

    Total equivalent unit 24,120

    Cost per equivalent unit for conversion cost =

    (221,940 + 2,165,940) / =24,120 = $99

    Equivalent unit for material cost

    Equivalent unit for Material = 22,200 + 2,400 = 24,600

    Cost per equivalent unit for material cost

    = 19800+496800/24,600 = $21

    Valuation of output $

    Completed units = (21+99) * 21,200 = 2,544,000.

    Closing WIP = 99 * 1920 + (21 * 2,400) = 240,480
