Answer 1

Answer:

71,000 liters

Explanation:

The computation of the liters was started and completed during the period is calculated below:

= Number of liters completed - liters at the beginning work in process

= 74,000 liters - 3,000 liters

= 71,000 liters

In order to determine the liters completed and started, the  liters at the beginning work in process is deducted from the Number of liters completed
