Answer 1

ending WIP physical units: 600

Equivalent units: 495

Step-by-step explanation:

physical units:

We will add up the beginning units and the transferred-in.

Then we subtract the transefrred-out

beginning 900

received 1,600

total units during the period: 2,500

transferred out: (1,900)

ending: 600

To know the equivalent untis we multiply by their porcentage of completion:

900 x 55% = 495 units
