b. Equivalent unit schedule:
Units completed………………………………..……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Units in ending WIP (50,000 × 0.40)…..…………………………………..…………………………………………………………………………………………………………….………
20,000 50,000 × 0.40 = 20,000
Total equivalent units…………..…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
2. Unit cost computation:
Costs in BWIP………………..………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….…………
Costs added……………..…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Total costs……………..………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
$11,612,500
Unit Cost = $11,612,500/500,000…………..………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..…………………………………...……
Ending work in process (20,000 × $23.225)……………………………………………..…………………………………………………………………………………………………………...…….
$464,500 20,000 × 23.225 = 464,500
