Cost of Goods Transferred Out = Units Completed*Unit Manufacturing Cost = 7,200*3.60 = $25,920

________

Part D)

The cost of EWIP is calculated as follows:

Cost of EWIP = Units in Ending WIP*Unit Manufacturing Cost = 300*3.60 = $1,080

Units Completed 7,200 Add Units in EWIP (750*40%) 300 Equivalent Units of Output 7,500
