    A company operates a process in which no losses are incurred. The process account for last month, when there was no opening work in progress (WIP), was as follows:

    Process Account
    $ $
    Costs arising 624,000 Finished output
    (10,000 units) 480,000
    Closing WIP (4,000 units) 144,000
    624,000 624,000

    The closing WIP was complete to the same degree for all elements of cost.
    What was the percentage degree of completion of the closing WIP

    Dear Sir,

    Good day to you.

    Please help me to explain above question.

    The cost per unit for finished output is 480/10 = $48.

    The cost per unit for WIP is 144/4 = $36

    Why is the cost per unit for WIP lower than for finished units?

    Because it is only part finished!

    How much finished therefore? 36/48 x 100%
