C. 93,700 77,000

Explanation:

start and complete 77,000

ending work in process 16,700 at 15%

Total units worked during the period: 77,000 + 16,700 = 93,700

For materials X we will count all untis worked during the period as all material X is added at the beginning

For Material Y we count the started and completed untis as the ending units are not above the 75% threshold

Thereforethe correct answer is C 93,700 equialent untis for Material X and 77,000 units of material Y
