Cost of Opening WIP | $8,500 | $4,900 |
Cost added during the month | $139,400 | $244,200 |
Formula used:
Calculations:
While calculating cost of transferred units we should subtract cost of closing WIP from sum cost of
opening WIP and cost added during the period as closing units are not yet transferred.
Cost to be accounted for and costs accounted for are reconciled at 397,050.
