Computation of Equivalent unit (FIFO) | |||
Particulars | Physical units | Material | Conversion |
Units to be accounted for: | |||
Beginning WIP Inventory | 2350 | ||
Units started this period | 10120 | ||
Total unit to be accounted for | 12470 | ||
Units Accounted for: | |||
Units completed and transferred out | |||
From beginning inventory Material - 0% Conversion - 60% |
2350 | 0 | 1410 |
Started and completed currently | 9120 | 9120 | 9120 |
Units in ending WIP Material - 100% Conversion - 70% |
1000 | 1000 | 700 |
Total units accounted for | 12470 | 10120 | 11230 |
Douglas Manufacturing Company | |||
Computation of Cost per Equivalent unit | |||
Particulars | Total cost | Material | Conversion |
Current period cost | $105,516.00 | $51,612.00 | $53,904.00 |
Equivalent units | 10120 | 11230 | |
Cost per equivalent unit | $5.10 | $4.80 |
Cost of ending WIP = Equivalant unit of material in ending WIP * Cost per equivalant unit of material + Equivalant unit of conversion in ending WIP * Cost per equivalant unit of conversion
= 1000*$5.10 + 700*$4.80 = $8,460
