Beginning Inventory: 8000 units, 75% complete
Started: 82,000 units
Finished: 80,000 units
Ending Inventory: 1000 units, 50% complete
Required: Based on the above data, compute equivalent units for both materials and conversion costs using FIFO costing. Assume that all materials are added at end of process and conversion costs are applied evenly.
Here, there is a mistake in the question as the ending inventory should be 10000 units | |
Beginning inventory | 8000 |
(+) Units started | 82000 |
Total units | 90000 |
(-) Units finished | 80000 |
Ending inventory | 10000 |
All the materials are added at the end of the process, which means they are added when the conversion cost is 100% complete. | |
Units finished | 80000 |
(-) Beginning inventory units | 8000 |
Units started and finished | 72000 |
Materials | Conversion | |
Beginning equivalent units [ Beginning inventory units * ( 1 - % Completion ) ] |
8000 [ 8000 * ( 1 - 0% ) ] |
2000 [ 8000 * ( 1 - 75% ) ] |
Units started and finished |
72000 |
72000 |
Ending equivalent units [ Ending inventory units * % Completion ] |
0 [ 10000 * 0% ] |
5000 [ 10000 * 50% ] |
Equivalent units | 80000 | 74500 |
