Sagot :

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the equivalent units of products for material and conversion is as follows:

(1)

For material

= 9,000 units + 1,000 units

= 10,000 units

(2)

for conversion

= 2,000 units ×  (1 - 20%) +  9,000 units + 1,000 units + 1,000 units × 40%

= 1,600 units + 9,000 units + 400 units

= 11,000 units
