Explanation / Answer

Calculation Equivalent units using Weighted average cost method

Material cost =Opening+Current year=$13,400+$188,200=$201,600

The cost equivalent per unit for material=$201,600/8,450=$23.86

Conversion cost=$8,600+$326,600=$335,200

The cost equivalent per unit for conversion cost=$335,200/7,700=$43.53

Conversion cost for WIP=1,500*20%*$43.53=$13,059.74=$13,060

Input output % completion material Equivalent units material % completion conversion Equivalent units Conversion 600 7,400 100 7,400 100 7,400 8,300 1,500-ending 70 1,050 20 300 8,900 8,900 8,450 7,700
