Answer 1

Equivalent units of production= 746,000 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Units completed 620,000 100%

Ending Work in Process 180,000 70%

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= 620,000 + (180,000*0.7)

Equivalent units of production= 746,000 units
