Exercise 8-19 (Algo) Compute Equivalent Units: FIFO Method (LO 8-1, 5) Conlon Chemicals manufactures paint thinner. Information on the work in process follows: Beginning inventory, 45,000 partially complete gallons. Transferred out, 211,000 gallons. Ending inventory (materials are 20 percent complete; conversion costs are 12 percent complete). Started this month, 240,000 gallons. Assume that beginning inventory is 50 percent complete with respect to materials and 31 percent complete with respect to conversion costs. Required: a. Compute the equivalent units for materials using FIFO. b. Compute the equivalent units for conversion costs using FIFO. a. Materials b. Conversion costs Equivalent Units (gallons)
