Gregory Velez · Answer 1

Physical Units in January 14,900

Physical Units in May 23,220

Explanation:

The question is to compute physical units for January and May for Shady Company based on the given information

Physical Units (Also known as the units to be accounted for)

= The Opening Workin Progress + The Units Started into Production

Note that this Units should also be equal to the following

= Units Transferred Out + the Ending Work in Progress units

It is therefore computed as follows:

Description January May

Units to be accounted for 0 0

Opening WIP

Started into Production 14,900 23,220

January (11,900 + 3,000)

May (15,600 + 7,620)

Total Units 14,900 23,200

Units accounted for

Units Transferred out 11,900 15,600

Closing Work in Progress 3,000 7,620

Total Units 14,900 23,200
