    1,300 units

    Explanation:

    The computation of the number of units are in ending work in process inventory in the first processing department is shown below:

    As we know that

    Ending work in process units = Beginning work in process units + unit started - units completed and transferred out

    = 600 units + 7,800 units - 7,100 units

    = 1,300 units

    We simply applied the above formula
