These units were finished and an additional 7,000 units were started and completed during the period. 1,600 units were still in process at the end of the period, 25% completed. Using the weighted average method, the equivalent units produced by the department were:

Answer 1

the equivalent units produced by the department is 8,900 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the equivalent units produced by the department is shown below:

= Started & completed units + beginning units + 25% of ending units

= 7,000 units + 1,500 units + 1,600 units × 25

= 7,000 units + 1,500 units + 400 units

= 8,900 units

Hence, the equivalent units produced by the department is 8,900 units
