A. 2, 500 units

Explanation:

Beginning Units 500

Units Received 5,000

Total 5,500

Units Transferred to next department 2,500

Ending Inventory 3000

Total 5,500

Units to account for = Beginning Inventory + Units Started - Ending Inventory

= 500 + 5000 - 3000 = 2500

This is the key feature of weighted average method that that equivalent units of activity is calculated without making a distinction as to whether activity occurred int the current accounting period or the preceding period.
