Emmanuel Powers · Answer 1

equivalent units of production:

materials = 11,000

conversion = 8,600

Explanation:

Step 1 Determine the units of Closing Work In Process Inventory

Units in Closing Work In Process Inventory = Opening Work In Process Inventory + Units Started During the Month - Units completed and transferred to finished goods

= 1,000+10,000-7,000

= 4,000

Step 2 Determine Total Equivalent Units for Materials and Conversion Costs

Materials

Note : materials are added at the beginning of the process

Units completed and transferred to finished goods (100%) = 7,000

Units in Closing Work In Process Inventory (100%) = 4,000

Total = 11,000

Conversion

Units completed and transferred to finished goods (100%) = 7,000

Units in Closing Work In Process Inventory (40%) = 1,600

Total = 8,600
