Alberto Schwartz · Answer 1

C. 280,000 270,000

Explanation:

25% * 40,000 = 10,000

60% * 25,000 = 15,000

15,000 + 10,000 = 25,000

(280,000 - 25,000) = 255,000

Therefore:

255,000 (started and completed) + 25,000

(ending inventory)

=280,000

Conversion costs: 255,000 + 25,000 (.60)

= 270,000

The equivalent units of production for the month of April, assuming Madison uses the weighted-average method is 280,000 270,000
