    Process costing is a methods used to measure manufacturing costs for bulk products. It include the weighted-average method for the calculation of Manufacturing costs. Equivalent units of Manufacturing are used for the calculation of production costs.

    Total Number of units = 15,000 units

    Equivalent Unit of production

    In respect of material = 15,000 x 100% = 15,000 units

    In respect of Labor = 15,000 x 80% = 12,000 units

    Cost of Equivalent units

    Material Cost = 15,000 x $4.40 = $66,000

    Labor cost = 12,000 x 1.60 = $19,200

    As the direct material and labor are charged to Work in process account on the basis of their completion percentage.

    The balance of Work in process = $66,000 + $19,200 = $85,200
