    Answer: Option (E) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Output completed and transferred = 9,400 units

    Ending Work in Process inventory = 6,400 units

    The units in ending Work in Process inventory were 60% complete with respect to both direct materials and conversion costs.

    Company uses a weighted average method : -

    Units completed and transferred:

    Equivalent units = 100% of 9,400 units

    = 9,400 units

    Ending goods in process:

    Equivalent units = 60% of 6,400

    = 3,840 units

    Total equivalent units = 9,400 units + 3,840 units

    = 13,240 units

    The correct option is e. 13,240 units

    Explanation:

    By applying the weightage average method, the equivalent units of production is computed below:

    1. Total number of units completed = 9,400 units * 100% = 9,400 units

    2. Ending Work in process inventory = 6,400 units * 60% =

    3,840 units

    So, the equivalent units of production for the month would be the sum of step 1 and the step 2 which equals to

    = 9,400 units + 3,840 units

    = 13,240 units

    Thus, the equivalent units of production for the month is 13,240 units

    Hence, the correct option is e. 13,240 units
