The number of equivalent units of production in the June 30, Finishing Department inventory is 575 units.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the number of equivalent units of production in the June 30 Finishing Department inventory, we would have to use the following formula:

Equivalent unit of production = (Beginning WIP*percent completion) + Unit started and completed + (Ending WIP*percent completion)

5,200 = (1,500*75%+3,500) + X

5,200 = 4,625+X

X (Equivalent unit of ending WIP) = 5,200-4,625 = 575

The number of equivalent units of production in the June 30, Finishing Department inventory is 575 units
