= 5100 + 91800 - 93000 = 3900

Solution 1b:

Solution 2:

Computation of Equivalent unit (FIFO) Particulars Physical units Material Conversion Units to be accounted for: Beginning WIP Inventory 5100 Units started this period 91800 Total unit to be accounted for 96900 Units Accounted for: Units completed and transferred out From beginning inventory
