Natalie Dixon · Answer 1

Option A is correct (51,500 units)

Explanation:

Number of units completed and transferred during the month=50,000 units

Ending Inventory units=5,000 units

Completed units in ending inventory with respect to material=30% of 5000.

Completed units in ending inventory with respect to material=5000*0.3

Completed units in ending inventory with respect to material=1,500 units

To find:

The weighted average equivalent units of production for materials for the month?

Solution:

Equivalent units of production for material = Units completed and transferred out + Completed units in ending inventory with respect to material.

Equivalent units of production for material=50,000+1,500

Equivalent units of production for material=51,500 units.

Option A is correct (51,500 units)
