The June 1 work in process inventory consisted of 4,400 units with $14,100 in materials cost and $12,900 in conversion
cost. The June 1 work in process inventory was 100% complete with respect to materials and 60% complete with respect
to conversion. During June, 36,900 units were started into production. The June 30 work in process inventory consisted
of 8,800 units that were 100% complete with respect to materials and 50% complete with respect to conversion.

- Weighted averaged method
while computing equivalent units in case of Weighted averaged method Units completed and transfer opening WIP is not considered
while computing equivalent Cost per unit in case of Weighted averaged method amount of opening WIP and current year amount both of them are added then it is divided by equivalent units.
- FIFO Method
while computing equivalent units in case of FIFO method Units completed and transfer opening WIP is considered
while computing equivalent Cost per unit in case of FIFO method amount of current year amount is divided by equivalent units.
