304900 units should be transferred to the next processing department during the month.

Explanation:

Work in process : As a name suggest, the Work in process (WIP) is a process in which the work is in under processing or we can say it is not 100 % completed. It can be incomplete in any cycle.

It includes various cost like - direct material, direct labor, overhead, etc.

To find out how much units is to be transferred, the following equation is used which is shown below.

= Opening Work in process inventory + Purchase of inventory - closing work in progress inventory

= 24,900 units + 309,900 units - 29,900 units

= 304900 units

Thus, 304900 units should be transferred to the next processing department during the month.
