Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the number of equivalent units for direct material and conversion cost is shown below:
For materials
= units started and completed × completion percentage + ending work in process inventory × completion percentage
= (24,400 - 1,160) × 100% + 1,280 units × 100%
= 23,240 units + 1,280 units
= 24,520 units
For conversion
= Opening work in process inventory × remaining percentage + units started and completed × completion percentage + ending work in process inventory × completion percentage
= 1,160 units × 70% + (24,400 - 1,160) × 100% + 1,280 units × 60%
= 812 units + 23,240 units + 768 units
= 24,820 units
