WHOLE UNITS

Inventory in process, beginning 640

Started and completed 12,960

(13,600-640)

Transferred to Packing Department 13,600

(640+12,960)

Inventory in Process ending 720

(13,600+720)

DIRECT MATERIALS EQUIVALENT UNITS

Inventory in process, beginning 0

Started and completed 12,960

(13,600-640)

Transferred to Packing Department 12,960

Inventory in Process ending 720

Total 13,680

(12,960+720)

CONVERSION EQUIVALENT UNITS

Inventory in process, beginning 192

[640-(640*70%)]

Started and completed 12,960

(13,600-640)

Transferred to Packing Department 13,152

(192+12,960)

Inventory in Process ending 180

(720*25%)

Total 13,332

(13,152+180)
