The Blending Department of Luongo Company has the following cost and production data for the month of April. Costs:
Work in process, April 1
Direct materials: 100% complete $111,000
Conversion costs: 20% complete 77,700
Cost of work in process, April 1 $188,700

Costs incurred during production in April
Direct materials $888,000
Conversion costs 405,150
Costs incurred in April $1,293,150

Units transferred out totaled 18,870. Ending work in process was 1,110 units that are 100% complete as to materials and 40% complete as to conversion costs.

Required:
Compute the equivalent units of production for (1) materials and (2) conversion costs for the month of April.

(1) materials  = 19,980 units , (2) conversion costs = 19,314 units

Explanation:

Equivalent units are physical units of output expressed as a percentage on work or inputs applied to them.

Here, I have calculated the equivalent units using the weighted average cost method.

Calculation of equivalent units of production for the month of April.

(1) materials

Ending Work in Process (100% x  1,110 units)          = 1,110 units

Completed and transferred (100% x 18,870 units) = 18,870 units

Equivalent units of production for materials           = 19,980 units

(2) conversion costs for the month of April.

Ending Work in Process (40% x  1,110 units)                = 444 units

Completed and transferred (100% x 18,870 units)      = 18,870 units

Equivalent units of production for conversion costs  = 19,314 units

the answerr would be 1
