Kara Kirby · Answer 1

1,900 tons

Explanation:

The computation of started and completed during July is shown below:-

Beginning work in process 300 tons

Received from Casting department 2,400 tons

Total (A) 2,700 tons

Completed 2,200 tons

Ending work in process 500 tons

Total (B) 2,700 tons

Started and completed during July = Completed during the month - Opening working process

= 2,200 tons - 300 tons

= 1,900 tons

So, for computing the started and completed during July we simply applied the above formula.
