4. Given information
Average raw material unit cost 4.85
Average conversation cost 9.15
At end of period 600 units are in process
How much is the balance of inventory of goods in process at the end of the period?
Balance of inventory of goods in process at the end of the period =average raw material cost ×units in process×percantage of completion +average conversation cost×units in process×percentage of completion
