    Calculation of the equivalent units of production for the month, assuming the company uses the weighted average method.

    Completed and Transfered Ending WIP Equiv Units

    Direct Materials 13500 8100 21600

    Conversion Costs 13500 8100 21600

    Therefore Total Equivalent Units in terms of:

    Direct Materials = 21600

    Conversion Costs = 21600

    Explanation:

    The concept of eqivalent units is used to match the process cost to the actual degree of completion of output of that same process.

    For this Process the Outputs were:

    Units Completed and Transfered

    Ending Work In Progress

    In terms of Direct Materials the Equivalent units were calculated as

    Units Completed and Transfered (100%) = 13500

    Ending Work In Progress (60%) = 8100

    In terms of Conversion Costs the Equivalent units were calculated as

    Units Completed and Transfered (100%) = 13500

    Ending Work In Progress (60%) = 8100
