Adelaide Tucker · Answer 1

116,120 units

Explanation:

This can be calculated as follows:

Equivalent unit = Beginning units completed + Started & completed units during the period + (Ending unit * 40%)

= 29,000 + 69,000 + (35,400 * 40%)

= 98,000 + 14,160

Equivalent unit = 116,120 units

Note that the 40% refers to the weight of completion of the uncompleted units remaining at end of the period.

Therefore, the equivalent units of production were 116,120 units if the Weighted Average method used.

Equivalent Units of Productions = (Beginning Work in Process + Units completed and transfereed + Ending Work in Process)

Opening Inventory 29,000

Finished This Month 69,000

40% Complele Units 14,160

Equivalent Units of Productions 112,160
