Adriana · Answer 1

B) 86,000

Explanation:

Londing equivalent units related to materials:

the company used Weighted average.

beginning inventory 4,000

completed units 79,000

ending inventory 7,000 100% in regards to materials

As the company used W-A we do no distinction between started and complete and completed.

We will calcualte equivalent units as:

Units completed this period + Units in Ending Work in Process

so: 79,000 x 7,000 x 100% = 86,000
