Answer:
Computation of Equivalent units
                 units      Materials  Conversion
Started & completed 248,000 Â Â 248,000 Â Â 248,000
Ending inventory     84,000     75,600    33,600
Equivalent units               323,600   281,600
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Units transferred out = 310,000
Beginning inventory = 62,000 Â (70% materials and 30% conversion)
Started and completed = 248,000
Ending inventory = 84,000 (90% materials and 40% conversion)
b) Equivalent units are physical units expressed as finished units by multiplying the physical units with the degree of completion in terms of materials and conversion (labor and overheads).
