Explanation:

The computation of equivalent units of production for (a) materials and (b) conversion costs are shown below:-

Particulars                      Whole units       Materials       Conversion costs

Units transferred out        9,500               9,500                9,500

Ending Work in process   7,700               7,700                 3,850

                                                                                         (7,700 × 50%)

Total equivalent units    17,200              17,200                   13,350
