There were 4,000 units in the ending work in process inventory on November 30 which were 60% complete with respect to conversion costs. The November 1 work in process inventory consisted of 5,000 units which were 40% complete with respect to conversion costs.

Answer 1

21,000 units

Explanation:

The computation of the number of units started during November in the department is shown below:-

Number of units started during November in the department = units completed and transferred out + units in the ending work in process inventory - units in the Beginning work in process inventory

= 22,000 + 4,000 - 5,000

= 21,000 units

Therefore we have applied the above formula.
