On March 1, Upton Company's packaging department had Work in Process inventory of 8,820 units, which had been transferred in from the finishing department. These units had accumulated costs of $315,000 in previous departments and $16,000 for CC in the packaging department. During March, 30,000 units were transferred into the department. These units had accumulated costs of $770,000 in the previous departments. The packaging department incurred $54,000 in CC during the month. 700 units remained in ending inventory on March 31st.

Let's start with unraveling the abbreviations what does CC mean? What does EUb mean?
Accounting doesn't work the same way as SMS we are not mind readers

In order to sovle this you develop a table of costs and quantities and work with equivalent units of finished product, etc. You have been given opening inventory, input costs and closing inventory

It's okay, I finally solved in after repeated trial and error, but EU equivalent units, CC is conversion cost.
