Answer 1

Answer:

Total equivalent units= 4,190

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning Work in Process (30% complete, $1,600) 250 units

Ending inventory of Work in Process (70% complete) 450 units

Total units started during the year 3,700 units

We need to calculate the number of units completed and transferred out.

Beginning work in process= 250*0.7= 175

Units started and completed= 3,700

Ending work in process equivalent units= 450*0.7= 315

Total equivalent units= 4,190
