$7000 would be charged as inventoriable for the month of September 2000.Normal spoilage is charged as inventoriable .Abnormal spoilage would be charged to profits.

Requirement a

Units completed + Abnormal Spoilage + Work in process ( 9000 x 0.70 ) = Equivalent Units

Equivalent Units = 18000 + 3000 + 6300 = 27300

Requirement b

Debit:Loss from abnormal spoilage         6000

Credit :Work in Process                           6000

Requirement c

Work in Process ( 6000 x 0.80 ) + Started and completed (18000 - 6000 ) + Abnormal Spoilage + Work in process ( 9000 x 0.70 ) = Equivalent Units

Equivalent Units = 4800 + 12000 + 3000 + 6300 = 26100
