1) Equivalent unit
EUP-Material | EUP-Conversion | |
Unit transferred out | 436000 | 436000 |
Ending WIP | 47000 | 47000*70% = 32900 |
Total | 483000 | 468900 |
2) Cost per equivalent unit
Material | Conversion | |
Beginning WIP | 300160 | 191620 |
Cost added | 859040 | 535175 |
Total cost | 1159200 | 726795 |
Equivalent unit | 483000 | 468900 |
Cost per EUP | 2.40 | 1.55 |
3) Cost of ending WIP
Material | Conversion | Total | |
Cost of ending WIP | 47000*2.40 = 112800 | 32900*1.55 = 50995 | 163795 |
4) Cost of unit transferred out
Material | Conversion | Total | |
Cost of unit transferred out | 436000*2.40 = 1046400 | 675800 | 1722200 |
