I cannot figure out the beginning WIP on the FIFO side of this problem

Problem 1:
Overton Company has gathered the following information:
Units Materials Conversion
Beginning WIP 18000 100% 50%
Units Started 214000
Units Completed and transferred out 190000
Ending WIP 42000 70% 65%
Costs: Materials Conversion
WIP $16,370 $17,490
Costs Added during period $214,000 $265,000
Requirements:
1. Complete the following using Weighted Average Method of Process Costing:
a. Compute Equivalent Units
b. Compute Cost per Equivalent Unit
c. Determine costs of Ending WIP and Units Transferred
d. Prepare reconciliation
2. Complete the following using FIFO Method of Process Costing:
a. Compute Equivalent Units
b. Compute Cost per Equivalent Unit
c. Determine costs of Ending WIP and Units Transferred
d. Prepare reconciliation
Weighted Average Method FIFO Method
1. Calculate Equivalent Units Material Conversion
Materials Conversion To complete Beginning WIP
Units Completed and Transferred 190,000 190,000 18,000 X (100%-70%) 5,400
Ending WIP 18,000 X (100% - 50%) 9,000
42,000 X70% 29,400 Units Started & Completed
42,000X65% 27,300 (190,000-18,000) 172,000 172,000
EU of Production 219400 217300 Ending WIP
42,000X70% 29,400
42,000X65% 27,300
EU of Production 206,800 208,300
2. Calculated Cost per EU of Production Total Total
Beginning WIP Costs $16,370 $17,490 $33,860 Added Costs 214,000 265,000 479,000
Added Costs $214,000 $265,000 479,000 EU of Production 206,800 208,300
Total costs for period $230,370 $282,490 $512,860 Cost per EU $ 1.034 $ 1.272 $ 2.306
EU of Production $219,400 $217,300
Cost per EU $ 1.05 $ 1.30 $ 2.35
3. Assign Costs Transferred Costs:
Transferred Costs: Beginning WIP
(190,000X2.35) $ 446,500.00 Cost to Complete Beginning WIP
Conversion Costs (9,000X1.272) $ 11,448.00
Ending WIP: Cost of Beginning WIP 3
Materials (29,400X$1.05) 30,870 Cost of Units Started & Completed
Conversion (27,300X$1.30) 35,490 $66,360 (140,000 X $2.7132)
Total Costs $ 512,860.00 Total Transferred Costs
Ending WIP:
Materials (24,000 X $0.6171)
Conversion (14,400 X $2.0962)
