Question

The following information is available: Units in process, Dec. 1 (60 percent converted) 2,000 units Units in process, Dec. 31 (30 percent converted) 1,000 units Units started during the month 7,500 units Materials are added at the beginning of the process. How many equivalent units in process for conversion were there in December using the weighted average method? Group of answer choices

Answer 1

Answer:

the equivalent unit for conversion is 8,800 units

Explanation:

The computation of the equivalent unit for conversion is shown below:

= Units transferred + ending units

= (2,000 + 7,500 - 1,000) × 100 units + 1,000 units ×30%

= 8,500 units + 300 units

= 8,800 units

Hence, the equivalent unit for conversion is 8,800 units

We simply used the above formula for determining the conversion units
