    Inputs to the process should be:
    Finished units 3900 units x $10 = 39,000
    CWIP 600 x .30 x $10 = 1800
    Total costs $40,800

    Please check the answer in option 1, it must be 40800.

    Valuation is asked for the inputs, not the cwip or finished goods so there should not be any calculation for the cwip with respect to percentages, my calculation goes as under:
    Finished goods: 3900* $10/E.U= $39000
    CWIP: 600* $10/ E.U= $6000
    so, $39000+ $6000= $45000
    The calculation mentioned above for CWIP is the method when requirement states for the value of CWIP , here the question states the reverse i.e value of total inputs.

    Am I missing something, if I were to say that the answer (which tallies with Sarah’s answer) is simply the units that were input * cost per unit? In other words, $4,500 * $10?

    Also, can I ask, does cwip mean current work in progress? What does owip mean?

    If I understand you correctly Sarah (because it doesn’t make sense grammatically) are you saying that you doubt that I am studying ACCA? If so, what a bizarre thing to say! I’m studying as a “distance learning” mature student.

    Thanks for clarifying the abbreviation though.

    haha let me make it clear,the answer that rehmanvohra gave is the correct one.Sarah please look at the last sentences ” there was no OWIP and no losses in the process”,what is the use of this sentence?It is actually to tell you that in the process account,debit side only include input and the credit side includes finished goods and closing WIP.With this information,you will know that if you can find out the value for finished goods and closing WIP,then you can add it up and that’s the value of units input.Calculation is just like what rehmanvohra wrote 🙂
