Expert Solution
Step 1

Equivalent units means converting the incomplete production units into their equivalent completed units. Under each process, an estimate is made of the percentage completion of work-in-progress with regard to different elements of costs like material, labour, and overhead.

Equivalent units = Actual number of units in process of manufacture x Percentage of completion
