1) Ending work in process unit = 6000+108000-109500 = 4500 Units
2) Calculate equivalent unit
| Whole Unit | Direct Materials Equivalent Units |
Conversion Equivalent Units | |
| Inventory in process, March 1 | 6000 | 0 | 6000*2/5 = 2400 |
| Started and completed in March | 103500 | 103500 | 103500 |
| Transferred to finished goods in | 109500 | 103500 | 105900 |
| Inventory in process, March 31 | 4500 | 4500 | 4500*3/5 = 2700 |
| Total | 114000 | 108000 | 108600 |
