Ending Work In Process (50000 x 40%)                   20,000

Total equivalent units for materials                          200,000

To Complete Opening Work in Process (60000 x 40%)        24,000

Completed and transferred out (180000 - 60,000) x 100%  120,000

Ending Work In Process (50000 x 40%)                                  20,000

Total equivalent units for materials                                        164,000
