Solution

To calculate the equivalent units of production for the period, we need to consider both the completed units and the percentage completion of the closing work-in-progress.

For materials:

  • 4,500 units were completed.
  • The closing work-in-progress was 100% complete regarding materials, which means all 500 remaining units (5,000 units input - 4,500 units completed) are counted as equivalent units.
  • So, the equivalent units of production for materials is 4,500 (completed) + 500 (work-in-progress) = 5,000 units.

For conversion costs:

  • 4,500 units were completed.
  • The closing work-in-progress was 60% complete with conversion costs, which means 60% of the 500 remaining units are counted as equivalent units.
  • So, the equivalent units of production for conversion costs is 4,500 (completed) + 300 (60% of 500 work-in-progress) = 4,800 units.

Therefore, the answer is d. Materials: 5,000; Conversion costs: 4,800.
