The equivalent units of production for conversion costs were:

Ending Inventories:

Work in Process - Eqvivalent units (16000*75%) = 12,000

Finished Goods = 60,000

Add:Units sold during the month = 250,000

322,000

Less:

Beginning Inventories:

Work in Process - Eqvivalent units = 0

Finished Goods = 75,000

Equivalent Units of Production = 247,000
