UNITS TO ACCOUNT FOR :

[tex]\text{Beginning Work}[/tex] in Process units            $ [tex]25,000[/tex]

[tex]\text{Add: Units Started}[/tex] in Process                  $ [tex]14,000[/tex]

Total Units to account for                         $ [tex]165,000[/tex]

UNITS TO BE ACCOUNTED FOR:

[tex]\text{Units completed}[/tex] and transferred out       $ [tex]135,000[/tex]

[tex]\text{Ending Work}[/tex] in Process                             $ [tex]30,000[/tex]

[tex]\text{Total Units}[/tex] to be accounted for                 $ [tex]165,000[/tex]

[tex]\text{Equivalent units}[/tex]

                                       Material cost                        Conversion

                               % of completion  Units        % of completion      Units

   

[tex]\text{Units started}[/tex]                  [tex]100\%[/tex]        $[tex]135,000[/tex]              [tex]100\%[/tex]        $[tex]135,000[/tex]        

and completed.

[tex]\text{Ending Work}[/tex] in Process [tex]100\%[/tex]         [tex]30,000[/tex]               [tex]30\%[/tex]          [tex]9000[/tex]

[tex]\text{Total equivalent units}[/tex]                     [tex]165,000[/tex]                               [tex]144,00[/tex]

Therefore, the equivalent units of conversion is [tex]144,000 \text{ units}.[/tex]
