Bims Corporation uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. The Assembly Department started the month with 2,600 units in its beginning work in process inventory that were 70% complete with respect to conversion costs. An additional 62,500 units were transferred in from the prior department during the month to begin processing in the Assembly Department. There were 21,000 units in the ending work in process inventory of the Assembly Department that were 60% complete with respect to conversion costs.

    Total equivalent units 56,700

    Explanation:

    Equivalent Units E. U) are notional whole units which represent incomplete work and are used to apportion costs between between work in progress and completed work.

    To compute as

    Equivalent Units = Degree of completion (%) * units

    We will assume the company uses weighted average method of accounting for work-in progress.

    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.

    Completed units = opening inventory + transferred in - closing inventory

    = 2,600 + 62,500 - 21,000 = 44,100

    Items Units Equivalent unit

    Completed units 44,100 44,100 * 100% = 44,100

    Closing inventory 21,000 21,000 * 60% = 12,600

    Total equivalent units 56,700
