Booth · Answer 1

20,200 units

Explanation:

Given:

Beginning inventory = 2,400 units

Units transferred from Department X to Department W = 16,000 units

One-half completed units = 1,800 units

Now,

all the above will be assigned cost on the production report for Department W

thus,

the number of units to be assigned cost for Department W

= 2,400 + 16,000 + 1,800

or

= 20,200 units
