Transferred Out      23000         100         100           23000      23000

Ending WIP              3000            100       331/3%       3000        999.9= 1000

Total Equivalent units                                                  26000        24000

The Equivalent units can be calculated either by adding the units transferred out and ending WIP or by adding beginning WIP and units started.

Equivalent units for materials 26000

and Equivalent units for conversion are: 24000
