Respuesta :

Answer:

$3,855

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the total equivalent units for conversion costs

Whole Units Percent conversion added in period Equivalent units for Conversion

Inventory in process , beginning

200 40% (100-60%) 80 (200*40%)

Started and completed in October

3,700 100% 3,700 (3,700*100%])

Transferred out of rolling 3,900 $0 $0

Inventory in process, Ending 300 25% 75 (300*25%)

Total Equivalent units for conversion $3,855

(80+3,700+75)
