Exercise 3-4 Weighted average: Computing equivalent units LO C2

Prepare the departments equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials under each of three separate assumptions using the weighted-average method for process costing.

Equivalent Units of Production (EUP)Weighted Average Method
1. All direct materials are added to products when processing begins.
	Units	% Materials	EUPMaterials
Total EUP
				2. Beginning inventory is 40% complete as to materials and conversion costs. Ending inventory is 80% complete as to materials and conversion costs.
	Units	% Materials	EUPMaterials
