B Direct Materials 210,000; Conversion Cost 180,000

Explanation:

beginning inventory 50,000

start and finished 120,000

Complete and trasnferred-out 170,000

Convesion Cost:

Coplete and transferred-out 170,000

Ending Inventory 40,000 x 1/4 = 10,000

CC equivalent units 180,000

DIrect Materials

Coplete and transferred-out 170,000

Ending Inventory 40,000x100% = 40,000

DM equivalent units 210,000

Under W-A method we justdiscriminate on transferred-out and ending work in process.

We don't do the difference between started and finished and beginning inventory.
