    Total equivalent unit = 1,242 + 9,600 + 290 = 11,132 units

    Explanation:

    Explanation:

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

    Under the first in first method, to account for completed units during a production period the opening inventory units are assumed to completed first before newly the newly introduced units.

    So we can work out the equivalents units as follows:

    Fully worked units : These represent units started this period of production and completed in the same period.

    Fully worked = 12300 - 2700=9600

    Item Workings Equivalent unit

    Opening inventory (100-54) % * 2,700 = 1,242

    Fully worked (100% * 9600) = 9,600

    Closing inventory (29% * 1000) = 290

    Total equivalent units 11,132

    Total equivalent unit = 1,242 + 9,600 + 290 = 11,132 units

    Note that for the opening inventory already 54% work has been done the preceding period, so the balance of 46% would be done in this current period.
