    The cost at the end of process = $2,645

    Explanation:

    As per the data given in the question,

    Direct material Conversion cost

    Particulars I/P Particulars O/P % Units % Units

    Opening WIP 1,000 Units completed 1,000 0% 0 40% 400

    Units introduced 4,000 units completed 3,500 100% 3,500 100% 3,500

    Closing WIP 500 100% 500 40% 200

    Total 4,000 4,100

    The I/P = Input

    O/P = Output

    Particulars Cost Equivalent unis Cost per unit

    Direct material $8,200 4,000 $2.05 ($8,200 : 4,000)

    Conversion costs $33,210 4,100 $8.10 ($33,210 : 4,100)

    (Conversion cost = 28,700 + 4,510 = 33,210)

    Particulars Units completed Closing WIP

    Direct material $14,175 $1,025

    (500 units * $2.05)

    Conversion costs $28,350 $1,620 (3,500 units * $8.10) (200 units * $8.10)

    Total $42,525 $2,645

    (Direct material Units completed = 3,500*2.05+7,000 = 14,175)
