Equivalent Units of Materials Cost
The Filling Department of Ivy Cosmetics Company had 4,800 ounces in beginning work in process inventory (30% complete). During the period, 79,900 ounces were completed. The ending work in process inventory was 4,000 ounces (70% complete).
What are the total equivalent units for direct materials if materials are added at the beginning of the process?
________ units
Equivalent units means converting the incomplete production units into their equivalent completed units. Under each process, an estimate is made of the percentage completion of work-in-progress with regard to different elements of costs like material, labour, and overhead.
Equivalent units = Actual number of units in process of manufacture x Percentage of completion

Materials are added at the beginning of the process in the Compounding Department. Conversion costs are added evenly throughout each process. Ferris uses the weighted average method of process costing. In the Compounding Department, beginning work in process was 2,000 pounds (70% processed), 18,500 pounds were started in process, 18,000 pounds transferred out, and ending work in process was 30% processed.
