Reliability 2 10 (5*2) 4 (2*2) 6 (3*2)

aron Company has a process costing system. All materials are introduced when conversion costs reach 50 percent. The following information is available for physical units during March
Work in process, March 1 (60% complete as to conversion costs) 150,000Units started in March 600,000Units transferred to Finishing Department in March 630,000Work in process, March 31 (40% complete as to conversion costs) 120,000Compute the equivalent units for materials costs and for conversion costs using FIFO method
Answer:
Equivalent units of production for materials
Opening work in process was complete with respect to materials so not EUP there.
Closing work in process was complete as well.
EUP for materials is:
= Units transferred to Finishing Department - opening WIP
= 630,000 - 150,000
= 480,000 units
Equivalent units of production for conversion
= EUP opening work in process + units transferred to finishing department + EUP closing work in process
= (40% * 150,000) + 480,000 + (40% * 120,000)
= 60,000 + 480,000 + 48,000
= 588,000 units
EUP opening work in process already had 60% of conversion cost incurred in previous period so only 40% will be incurred in present period.
