Weighted-average method

Materials Labor and Overhead

Ending work in process:

Materials: 20,000 units * 100% 20,000

Conversion: 20,000 units * 70% 14,000

Equivalent units of production in ending work in process 20,000 14,000

Materials Labor and Overhead Total

Ending work in process inventory:

Equivalent units of production (a) 20,000 14,000

Cost per equivalent unit (b) $3.20 $2.00

Cost of ending work in process inventory (a) * (b) $64,000 $28,000

$92,000
