Answer:

For conversion costs, the equivalent units of production are 1,610 units. The right answer is B

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

begging work in progress = 280  units

units started=1450 units

Therefore, total input= 280  units + 1450 units

Total input = 1730  units

There is end work in process of 120 units

Therefore, the equivalent units of production are=Total input-end work in process

The equivalent units of production=1,730 units-120 units

The equivalent units of production=1,610 units

For conversion costs, the equivalent units of production are 1,610 units
