Answer 1

Answer:

Number of equivalent units= 18,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Conversion costs for Department B were 50% complete concerning the 6,000 units in the beginning work in process and 75% complete for the 8,000 units in the ending work in process. A total of 12,000 units were completed and transferred out of Department B during February.

With the information provided, we can calculate the number of equivalent units of the period.

Beginning work in process = 6,000*0.5= 3,000

Units started and completed = 12,000 - 3,000= 9,000

Ending work in process completed= 8,000*0.75= 6,000

Number of equivalent units= 18,000
