Compute the equivalent units of production for (a) materials and (b) conversion costs for the month of November.

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the equivalent units of production for both material and the conversion cost is shown below:

Particulars                                           Materials         Conversion costs

Unit transferred out                                9,700                            9,700

Add:

Ending work in process                         8,300                            3,818

                                                     (8300 × 100%)               (8,300 × 46%)

Total equivalent unit                               18,000                         13,518
