Workings:-

            Equivalent Units
Quarter Beginning WIP Started Transferred Out Ending WIP Conversion Material Conversion
1                                        -     1,34,350.00         1,33,550.00         800.00 25%   1,34,350.00   1,33,750.00
2                                 522.00   1,32,593.00         1,32,515.00         600.00 24%   1,33,115.00   1,32,659.00

4                                 487.00   1,34,845.00         1,34,032.00      1,300.00 23%   1,35,332.00   1,34,331.00

 

Ending WIP = Beginning WIP + Started- Transferred Out

Equivalent units for Material = Beginning WIP + Started

Equivalent units for Conversion = Units transferred out+(Ending WIP* Conversion rate)
