                   Step 2 – calculate the EUs for each element of cost

                                                                        Equivalent units
                                           Physical units     Direct materials     Conversion costs

                   Finished output
                   Opening WIP                15,000            0%           0       60%        9,000

                   Completed units            23,000         100%      23,000      100%       23,000
                   Closing WIP                  7,000        100%        7,000       80%        5,600

                   Total EU                                            30,000                 37,600
                   Step 3 – calculate the total cost for each element of cost

                                           Direct Materials   Conversion costs
                                                      $                  $

                   Current period only            154,200             146,640
                   Step 4 – calculate the cost per EU


                   Direct materials = $154,200 ÷ 30,000 EU = $5.14 per EU

                   Conversion costs = $146,640 ÷ 37,600 EU = $3.90 per EU

                   Step 5 – value the completed units and closing WIP

                   The cost of finished output can be calculated as follows:

                                                                                              $

                   Completed units

                       Opening WIP


                           Value b/fwd                                                 100,300

                           Cost to complete = 9,000 EU × $3.90                          35,100

                       Units started and completed = 23,000 EU × $9.04                 207,920

                                                                                       343,320

                   Closing WIP = 7,000 EU × $5.14 + 5,600 EU × $3.90                    57,820
