Answer:

Total Equivalent units of production= 71,600 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The weighted average method blends the costs and units of the previous period with the costs and units of the current period.

Units completed in the period + Equivalent units in ending inventory WIP (units*%completion) = Equivalent units of production

Equivalent units of production:

Units completed in the period= 62,000

Equivalent units in ending inventory WIP= (16,000*0.6)= 9,600

Total Equivalent units of production= 71,600 units
