Answer: 60%

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the ending work in process.

Materials are complete at inception so the Equivalent units of Materials represent the total units.

Ending WIP will therefore be:

= Materials EUP - Units started and completed

= 5,000 - 3,500

= 1,500 units

Stage of completion is based on Conversion.

Conversion EUP = Total started and completed + (x% * Closing WIP)

4,400 = 3,500 + (x% * 1,500)

4,400 = 3,500 + 15x

15x = 4,400 - 3,500

15x = 900

x = 900/15

x = 60%

Conversion is 60% complete so this is the stage of completion.
