These units were finished and an additional 5,000 units were started and completed during the period. 800 units were still in process at the end of the period, 25% completed.

b. 5,900 units.
c. 6,100 units.
d. 5,500 units.
e. 6,700 units.

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is C

Explanation:

we are given that a company starts with 900 units which are 35% complete that means during the production period they are completed, then we are further told that 5000 units are started and completed therefore we add the 900 units we started with with the 5000 units that are started and completed during the period then we are told that at the end of the process 800 units are still in process and 25% completed there fore we add the 25% of 800 units to the 5900 units that are completed therefore we calculate the equivalent units produced by the department as follows:

900 units + 5000 units + 800 units x 25% = 6100 units that are completed on a weighted average method.
