Noel · Answer 1

The equivalent units for conversion costs for the current period is 12,500 units

Explanation:

We know that,

Ending work in progress inventory = Units started - units completed

10,000 units = 14,500 units - units completed

So, units completed = 14,500 units - 10,000 units = 4,500 units

It is given in the question that 80% ending work in progress inventory units is completed,

So completed units = 10,000 * 80% = 8,000 units

So, the equivalent units of production equals to

= Units completed + completed units in ending inventory

= 4,500 units + 8,000 units

= 12,500 units
