The production department in a process manufacturing system completed 80,000 units of product and transferred them to finished goods during a recent period. Of these units, 32,000 were in process at the beginning of the period. The other 48,000 units were started and completed during the period. At period-end, 17,500 units were in process. Prepare the department’s equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials under each of the three separate assumptions using the FIFO method for process costing.

1. 96,000
2. 92,000
3. 89,600
Explanation:
The computation of given question is shown below:-
1. Total Equivalent units of production
Units Percentage of Equivalent units of
material production material
Goods completed 80,000 100% 80,000
Ending goods in
process 16,000 100% 16,000
Total Equivalent units of production 96,000
2. Total Equivalent units of production
Units Percentage of Equivalent units of
material production material
Goods completed 80,000 100% 80,000
Ending goods in
process 16,000 75% 12,000
Total Equivalent units of production 92,000
3. Total Equivalent units of production
Units Percentage of Equivalent units of
material production material
Goods completed 80,000 100% 80,000
Ending goods in
process 16,000 60% 9,600
Total Equivalent units of production 89,600
So, for computing the all three points of Equivalent units of production we simply added the Goods completed of Equivalent units of production material with Ending goods in process of Equivalent units of production material. Hope this helps! Mark please!
