Jade Richardson · Answer 1

The equivalent units of production for materials during the period is 32,250 units.

Explanation:

Using first-in, first-out

Units Started and completed are the units received from the previous department - ending

34,500 - 4,500=30,000

Units in production for materials

Beginning WIP 0 (the whole materials were added at the previous period)

Started and completed 30,000

Ending WIP 2,250 (4,500 x 0,50) (50% complete as to materials)

Total materials 32,250
