Expert Answer
COMPUTE THE PHYSICAL UNITS FOR JANUARY AND MAY :
JANUARY | MAY | |
Units to be accounted for | ||
Beginning work in process | 0 | 0 |
Units started during period | 13000 | 21000 |
Total units | 13000 | 21000 |
Units accounted for | ||
Transfered out | 11000 | 14000 |
Ending work in process | 2000 | 7000 |
Total units | 13000 | 21000 |
COMPUTE EQUIVALENT UNIT :
Materials | conversion costs | |
January | 13000*100%=13000 | 11000*100%=11000
2000*60%=1200 |
march | 15000*100%=15000 | 12000*100%=12000
3000*30%=900 |
May | 21000*100%=21000 | 14000*100%=14000
7000*80%=5600 |
July | 11500*100%=11500 | 10000*100%=10000
1500*40%=600 |
