Process Costing - FIFO: Computation of Equivalent Production

For each of the following independent cases, compute the equivalent production.

A. Work in process, beginning, 12,000 units - 1/4 completed and 8,000 units 1/8 completed; started in process, 50,000 units; transferred and completed, 40,000 units; work in process, end, 1/6 completed.


Quantity Schedule:

B. Work in process, beginning:
                                                       10, 000 units, 2/5 completed
                                                       10, 000 units, 3/5 and
                                                         5, 000 units, 2/5 completed.
     Placed into process:             40, 000 units
     Finished and transferred:   45, 000 units
     Work in process, end            1/2 is 4/5 completed and the balance is 1/2 completed.

Notes:

Units to be accounted for computed and shown in the quantity schedule must be accounted for completely, as gleaned from the 'Accounted for as follows' portion.

Computing for Started in Process in the Accounted for as follows portion: Units completed and transferred - in process, beginning.

It would help using the T-account as a guide for computing:


As for the percentages of completion, always remember to make the percentage in the In process, beginning as 1 - fraction/percentage, while in the In process, end, copy the percentage of completion as is.

I hope this helped! 🍁
