Answer:

Total equivalent units of materials =67,000 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Equivalent unit is computed as follows:

Equivalent units =Degree of completion × units of inventory

Fully worked = 67,000-6,700= 60,300

Closing inventory = 6,700

Item Equivalent unit

Fully worked 100%× 60,300= 60,300 units

Closing inventory = 100%× 6,700= 6,700 units

Total equivalent units 67,000 units

Note that we used 100% as the degree of completion for materials because materials required are always added at the beginning of the process
