Equivalents units in
In Process costing, the Equivalent units concept is important to compute the actual cost associated with the units completed during the period and units remained in process at the end. The main difference between unit completed and units in process at end is that the units completed has been processed at 100% degree with respect to each element of cost and the units in process is treated as units which may not have completed at 100% degree for some or all elements of cost till the end of period. Therefore, the equivalent units concept is important where the units in process shall be taken in line of completed units by reducing its units on the basis of degree of completion of in process units for each element of cost.
To Determine: The Total equivalent units of production with respect to each element of cost shall be computed as per weighted average method.

- Text Data Cleaning and Manipulation Beginning in row 16, columns B and C contain raw names and numeric zip codes. In columns D through H, you are asked to clean and manipulate that data in specific ways. Good thing is that you only have to create formulas for the first row then you can fill down. Enter the values for the last row below. Note: These are meant to be challenging. So just take your time and work thought each column logically using trial and error if necessary. Hint: The last column for zip code, will require a nested IF function to first see if the numeric zip code is 5 or 4 characters long so you then know which formatting to apply.
