Normal spoilage (units): 4% x 80,200 = 3208 spoiled units
Abnormal spoilage (units): (32,700 + 70,000)- 80,200 + 18,600)- 3208 = 692 spoiled units
* Equivalent units,Direct Materials: (80,200 - 32,700)+ 3208 + 692 + 18,600 = 70,000 units
** Equivalent units,Conversion Costs: (32,700 x (100% - 80%))+ (80,200 - 32,700)+ 3208 + 692 + (18,600 x 70%)= 70,960 units
Normal spoilage (cost): 3208 units x $3.32 = $10,651
Abnormal spoilage (cost): 692 units x $3.32 = $2297
