Detailed explanation-1: -In the given situation, % of completion is 60% of 1000 units. Therefore 600 units are to be considered as equivalent units.
Detailed explanation-2: -To simply calculate equivalent units, you can multiply the number of physical items by the percentage of the work done on them. For two items that are 50% done, you would have one equivalent unit (2 x 50% = 1). When the items are completely finished, the number of equivalent units is equal to the physical items.
Detailed explanation-3: -The total cost assigned to units transferred out equals the cost per equivalent unit times the number of equivalent units.
Detailed explanation-4: -Costs of units started and completed: you will take the equivalent units calculated for units started and completed x the cost per equivalent unit for materials, labor and overhead (or conversion). The sum of these 3 will be the cost of units completed and transferred which is also known as cost of goods manufactured.
