Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Calculation for direct material and equivalent conversion is presented below:

Particulars Materials Conversion cost

Units (a) % of completion (b) Equivalent units (a ×b) % of completion (d) Equivalent units (a × d)

Beginning WIP 6,000 units 0% 0 50%

3,000 units

Completed units 76,200 units 100% 76,200 100%

76,200 units

Ending WIP 4,600 units 100% 4,600 units 65%

2,990 units

Total 86,800 units 80,800 units

82,190 units

Working notes

1. The 50% is considered as 50% is beginning work in process so the remaining would be considered

2. The 76,200 units is come from
