Answer:

Equivalent Units

Material cost = 26,560

Conversion Cost= 25,540

Explanation:

We would assume the company uses  weighted average method of valuation.

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 = Degree of completion (%) × Number of units

Material cost

Item                                 Unit                                  Equivalent unit

Completed                    25,200      100% ×25200  = 25,200

Closing WIP                   1,360           100%× 1,360       1360

Total equivalent units                                                 26,560

Conversion Cost

Item                                 Unit                                  Equivalent unit

Completed                    25,200      100% ×25200  = 25,200

Closing WIP                   1,360           25%× 1,360        340

Total equivalent units
