TOTAL COST FOR JOB-875 6545

4. UNDER FIFO METHOD OF PROCESS COSTING, THE EQUIVALENT COST OF PRODUCTION WILL COVER:  

A. CURRENT PERIOD COST.

5. OPENING 600 UNITS COMPLETED 60 %, SO 40% WOULD BE COMPLETED THIS MONTH. HENCE EQUIVALENT UNITS WILL BE 600*40% i.e. 240 UNITS

6. EQUIVALENT UNITS TRANSFERRED TO ASSEMBLE DEPT

IN RESPECT OF MATERIAL IN RESPECT OF CONVERSION COST

CLOSING WIP 5000 UNITS 5000 UNITS

% COMPLETION 80% 75%

EQUIVALENT UINTS 4000 UNITS(5000*80%) 3750 UNITS(5000*75%)
