1) Physical flow of units

Total Units Total Units
Beginning work in process 60000 Units completed and transferred out 200000
Unit started 240000 Ending work in process 100000
Total Unit 300000 Total Units 300000

2) Calculate equivalent unit

Physical Unit EUP-Material EUP-Conversion
Units completed and transferred out 200000 200000 200000
Ending work in process 100000 100000 60000
Total 300000 300000 260000

3) Calculate unit Cost

Material Conversion
Beginning work in process 285000 174800
Cost added 495000 345200
Total Cost 780000 520000
Equivalent unit 300000 260000
Unit Cost 2.6 2

4) Analysis of total Cost

Material Conversion Total
Unit completed and transferred out 200000*2.6 = 520000 200000*2 = 400000 920000
Cost of ending work in process 100000*2.6 = 260000 60000*2 = 120000 380000
Total 780000 520000 1300000
