B) False

Explanation:

The department had 50,000 units which were:

25% complete with respect to direct materials (equivalent to 12,500 units), to finish them it must add 37,500 equivalent units of direct materials. 40% complete with respect to conversion (equivalent to 20,000 units), to finish them it must add 30,000 equivalent units of direct labor.
