Solution

Units % of completion Equivalent units Beginning work in process                   400 100%                       400 Units started and completed during the period               3,600 100%                    3,600 Ending work in process                   300 40%                       120 TOTAL               4,300                    4,120 $ Cost of beginning inventory               1,840 Add: Costs added during the period           130,000 Total costs           131,840 Cost per Equivalent unit = $ 131,840 / 4,120 units = $ 32 per unit Cost of Ending work in process = 120 units x $ 32 = $ 3,840
