goods in process December 31 8,800 units, 40 complete

units completed and transferred 46,900 units

Total equivalent unit= 41,040 units

Cost per equivalent units=$ 6.48

Explanation:

Equivalent units

Item Units Equivalent unit

Transferred out 46900× 80% = 37,520

Closing inventory 8,800 × 40% = 3,520

Total equivalent unit 41,040

Cost per equivalent units

Cost per equivalent units = Total labour cost/ total equivalent unit

= $266,300 / 41,040 units =$ 6.5

Cost per equivalent units=$ 6.5
