Equity = O.shares + S.Prem + Retained Earnings.

Issue 50000 shares: Shares will increase by $50000, S.Premium will increase by $10000(0.2 into 50000)
Repay $100000 at 20% prem: Loan decrease by $100000, R.Earnings will decrease by $20000(100000 into 20%).

Therefore Equity= 1250000+110000+130000= $1490,000

First Calculate Equivalent Units:

DM= 1000 units
DL= 900+( 100 into 50%)=950 units
OH=900+(100 into 50%)=950 units

Therefore the costs given are on these units.
Now calculate the rates of each DM, DL ,OH and multiply it by F.G units:

D.M= 3000/1000=$3 into 900= $2700
D.L= 3800/950=$4 into 900= $3600
OH= 1900/950= $2 into 900= $1800
__________________________
Cost of finished goods = $8100

No, Interest payable is not taken to cash flow statement. Even I made silly mistakes at my time so that's natural. So just relax and stop thinking about the paper. :D
