Answer:
The equivalent units for conversion costs= 6,912 units
Explanation:
<em>The weighted average method of valuation would be used to determine the the equivalent units for conversion costs</em>
<em>Under the weighted average method of valuation, to account for completed units, it is assumed that the entire degree of work required is done in the period under consideration. So there is no separation of the completed units into opening inventory and fully worked. </em>
Equivalent unit = Degree of completion × Units of inventory
<em>Items units Equivalent unit</em>
Completed unit 3,300 3,300× 100 = 3.300
Closing work in progress 4,300 4,300× 84%= <u>3,612
</u>
Total equivalent units <u>6,912
</u>
The equivalent units for conversion costs= 6,912 units

Answer: d. company directors; shareholders
Explanation: The conduction and management of a business usually involve making controversial decisions or taking actions that might put the business at risk.

The rule therefore aid in protecting a business's board of directors from slight legal allegations about the conduct of business. It is thus important because it reflects the principle that company directors, not shareholders, have the greatest latitude to run companies.
