These units were finished and an additional 5,000 units were started and completed during the period. 800 units were still in process at the end of the period, one-fourth completed. Using the Weighted Average valuation method, the equivalent units produced by the department were:
a. 6700 units
b. 5900 units
c. 5800 units
d. 6100 units
e. 8500 units

Answer 1

Answer:

5,500 units

Explanation:

Given that

Beginning units = 900 units out of one third is completed i.e = 300 units

Started and completed units = 5,000 units

Ending units = 800 units out of one fourth is completed = 200 units

So, according to the weighted average valuation method, the equivalent units is

= 300 units + 5,000 units + 200 units

= 5,500 units
