Grady Flores · Answer 1

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

100% complete for conversion cost the units that are complete.

Units that produced during the period:

= Units sold + Units of finished Ending - Beginning units of Finished

= 300,000 + 60,000 - 75,000

= 285,000 units

And work in process at ending is 24,000 units but for conversion costs is 75% only.

For conversion Equivalent units:

= 75% of Ending Work in process + Units that produced during the period

= 75% * 24,000 + 285,000

= 18,000+285,000

= 303,000 units
