    ending WIP: 320,000

    transferred-out: 1,500,000

    Explanation:

    20,000 started - 5,000 ending WIP = 15,000 complete

    equivalent units: complete units + ending WIP x percentage of completion

    cost of EU: cost added / EU

    Materials

    EU: 15,000 + 5,000 x 100% = 20,000

    Cost per EU: 800,000 / 20,000 = 40

    Ending WIP: 5,000 x 40 = 200,000

    transferred-out: 15,000 x 40 = 600,000

    Conversion

    EU: 15,000 + 5,000 x 40% = 15,000 + 2,000 = 17,000

    Cost per EU: 1,020,000 / 17,000 = 60

    Ending WIP: 2,000 x 60 = 120,000

    transferred-out: 15,000 x 60 = 900,000

    Total ending WIP

    200,000 + 120,000 = 320,000

    Total transferred-out

    600,000 + 900,000 = 1,500,000
