    Equivalent unit for conversion cost = 31,280 units

    Explanation:

    Under the weighted average method of valuation, to account for completed units, it is assumed that the entire degree of work required is done in the period under consideration. So there is no separation of the completed units into opening inventory and fully worked.

    Equivalent units are notional whole units which represent incomplete work and are used to apportion cost between work progress and completed work

    Equivalent unit = Degree of completion * number of units

    Equivalent unit for conversion cost

    Item units Equivalent unit

    transferred 29,000 100% * 29,000 = 29,000

    Closing inventory 3,000 76% * 3,000 = 2280

    Total equivalent unit 31,280

    Equivalent unit for conversion cost = 31,280 units
