    Cost of Units Transferred Out: $7,548

    Explanation:

    Cost Units

    Beginning Work in Process (WIP) : $2,990 1,100

    Production Started during August 800

    Production Completed in August 1,700 *

    Cost added to during August $5,000

    Ending WIP August: 200 (50%)

    *Completed: Beginning WIP Units + Started Units - Ending WIP Units = 1,100 + 800 - 200 = 1,700

    Costs of the Units: Cost of beginning WIP Units + Cost Added during the Period

    Cost of the Units: $2,990 + $5,000 = $7,990

    Equivalent Units of Production (EUP) : Completed Units + Ending WIP Units

    EUP: 1,700 Units + 200 Units x 50% = 1,800 Units

    Cost per Equivalent Unit: Cost of Units / EUP

    Cost per EUP: $7,990 / 1,800 = $4.44

    Cost of Units Transferred Out: Cost per EUP x Units Transferred Out

    Cost per Units Transferred Out: $4.44 x 1,700 = $7,548
