Question

At the beginning of the recent period, there were 880 units of product in a department, one-third completed. These units were finished and an additional 8,000 units were started and completed during the period. 600 units were still in process at the end of the period, one-fourth completed. The weighted average equivalent units produced by the department were:

a. 9,030 units.
b. 5,900 units.
c. 8,000 units.
d. 6,700 units.
e. 10,280 units.

Answer 1

a. 9,030 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the weighted average equivalent units produced is

= Beginning units f product in a department + additional started and completed units + ending work in process units after considering the one-fourth completion

= 880 units + 8,000 units + 150 units

= 9,030 units

The ending work in process units come

= 600 units ÷ 4

= 150 units
