Steven Durham · Answer 1

b. 126,500.

Explanation:

The equivalent units of production using weighted-average method will be,

Total units finished during the year 106,000.

Work in Process inventory 50% complete (41,000 units * 50%) 20,500 units.

Total equivalent units of production during the period = Total units finished during the year + Work in process units completed

Total equivalent units of production during the period = 106,000 + 20,500

Total equivalent units of production during the period = 126,500.
