Explanation / Answer

equalent unit of operning inventory:-

material- 2200

conversion- 660(2200*30%)

equalent unit of closing inventory

material - 3500

conversion-1400(3500*40%)

A)equalent unit of production=

closinig stock+unit transferred-operning stock

1. material=3500+36700-2200=38000

2. conversion=1400+36700-660=37440

B) assume material 40000 units, conversion m30000 units

unit cost for thismonth

material 3160+29000/42200=.76

labour 4685+35320/30660=1.30

C) assume material .85, labour 1.5

cost units transfered is=86245(.85+1.5*36700)

D) work in progress willbe on above assumption

=5075(3500*.85+1400*1.5)
