Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Materials are typically added at the beginning of the process in many manufacturing settings, including the production of potato chips. Therefore, the equivalent units for materials would be the total pounds started in production, which is 10,000 pounds, since all materials would have been added to all units at the start of the process.
