                   (a)  The number of equivalent units of labour is 1,250.

                         The weighted average cost method is used, so OWIP cost is included in
                         the calculations of equivalent units.

                         OWIP + Input = Output + CWIP

                         400 + 900 = 800 + 500

                   (b)  The value of completed output for the period was $322,400.

                         Total costs                     247,000  162,500       83,000
                         Cost per equivalent unit           $190      $130         $83       $403

                         Therefore the value of completed output = 800 units × $403 = $322,400.

                   (c)  The value of CWIP for the period was $170,100

                         (500 × $190) + (450 × $130) + (200 × 83) = $170,100
