If the opening inventory of Gumede Limited contained 2 000 units of their product that were judged to be 40% complete as to labour, the equivalent units of production for labour for the current period under the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method for these 2 000 units are: (2)
a. 2 000 units
b. 800 units
c. 1 200 units
d. 400 units
The opening inventory of Gumede Limited contained 2000 units that were judged to be 40% complete as to labour.
The equivalent units of of production for labour in the opening balance
= 2000 X 40 %
= 800 Units
Therefore the equilvalent units of production for labour for current period to complete these 2000 units :
= 2000 units - 40% already completed
= 2000 units - 800 units
= 1200 units
