Answer 1

Answer:

Equivalent Units                   14,380

Explanation:

Beginning units 850 x (1-.6) =   340

Started Units during July     15,000

Ending Inventory 1,600(1-.4)    (960)

Equivalent Units                   14,380

Reasoning

We have to complete the beginning WIP which are laking 40% (1-0.6)

We start doing 15,000 units.

We left 1,600 units at 60% undone (1-0.4)
