Jett Watts · Answer 1

a. 40,600 units

Explanation:

For computing the equivalent units for conversion costs, first we have to compute the started and completed units which is shown below:

= Transferred units - beginning work in progress units

= 40,500 units - 5,000 units

= 35,500 units

Now, the computation of the equivalent units for conversion costs would be

= Beginning work in process inventory units * remaining percentage + units started and completed * percentage of completion + ending work in process inventory units * percentage of completion

= 5,000 units * 70% + 35,500 units * 100% + 4,000 units * 40%

= 3,500 units + 35,500 units + 1,600 units

= 40,600 units
