Answer:
a. 40,600 units
Explanation:
For computing the equivalent units for conversion costs , first we have to compute the started and completed units which is shown below:
= Transferred units - beginning work in progress units
= 40,500 units - 5,000 units
= 35,500 units
Now, the computation of the equivalent units for conversion costs would be
= Beginning work in process inventory units × remaining percentage + units started and completed × percentage of completion + ending work in process inventory units × percentage of completion
= 5,000 units × 70% + 35,500 units × 100% + 4,000 units ×40%
= 3,500 units + 35,500 units + 1,600 units
= 40,600 units
