Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                                                Units   Materials Conversion

Beginning work in process inventory    6,000     100%         80%

Units added during the month            52,000

Total units available for processing    58,000

Ending work in process inventory       18,000      100%         20%

Units completed and transferred out 40,000

Equivalent units of production:

                                                         Units    Materials           Conversion

Units completed and transferred  40,000   40,000 (100%)  40,000 (100%)

Ending work in process inventory 18,000    18,000 (100%)     3,600 (20%)

Total equivalent units of production            58,000              43,600
