Dangelo Mann · Answer 1

False

Explanation:

The formula for equivalent units units as follows:

Opening Work in Process + Equivalent units on which the work is done - Closing Work in process = Units Transferred

Therefore, ideally,

Opening work in process - Closing work in process = Units transferred - Equivalent units on which work is done.

As adding all the cost incurred during the period to opening inventory of work in process, we get the total cost for the period, thereafter, deducting the cost allocated to closing work in process we get the value of goods produced and transferred.

Therefore, above statement is false.
