Using FIFO, the equivalent units of materials and conversion costs are, respectively:
Materials | Conversion Costs | ||||||||||
Physical Units | % of completion | Equivalent Units of production | % of completion | Equivalent Units of production | |||||||
Beginning Work in process | 5,000 | 0% | 0 | 40% | 2,000 | ||||||
Units started and completed | 30,000 | 100% | 30,000 | 100% | 30,000 | ||||||
Ending Work in process | 10,000 | 100% | 10,000 | 40% | 4,000 | ||||||
