    The question is to determine the number of production units that were started during the month.

    Note that the company uses the First In First Out method for Process costing

    completed (units)

    The Equivalent Units 28,000 100 28,000

    Subtract:

    Opening Work-in - progress 7,500 60 4,500

    Closing Work in Progress 5,500 70 3,850

    Equivalent Units Started and Completed 19,650

    Step 2: Equivalent Units Started

    = Eqivalent Units started and completed + Total Ending Units

    = 19,650 + 5,500 = 25,150 units
