Mariah Gonzales · Answer 1

It is false

Explanation:

Total units are 50,000 which are 25% complete with respect to material i. e 12,500 (50,000*25%) and 40% complete with respect to labour i. e 20,000 (50,000*40%). Therefore number of units that must be completed with respect to material are 75% or 37,500 (50,000*75%) and with respect to labour 60% or 30,000 (50,000*60%).
