5,500 units

Explanation:

Given that

Beginning units = 900 units out of one third is completed i. e = 300 units

Started and completed units = 5,000 units

Ending units = 800 units out of one fourth is completed = 200 units

So, according to the weighted average valuation method, the equivalent units is

= 300 units + 5,000 units + 200 units

= 5,500 units
