Answer 1

Answer:

                                    Terrace Corporation

                                       Equivalent Unit

                                                        %     D.Material      %    Conversion

Completed transferred  57,600 100%   57,600       100%    57,600

to drying

Ending Inventory of WIP 7,200   100%   7,200         60%      4,320

Total                               64,800             64,800                   61,920

Note:

Ending Inventory of Wip = Opening WIP Inventory + Added(Started) - Transferred out = 3,600 + 61,200 - 57,600 = 7,200 pounds
