To find the number of shirts started during May, add the shirts transferred to Finished Goods Inventory (140,000) to the shirts still in process at the end of the month (30,000), since all direct materials are added at the beginning, indicating that these were also started during May. This gives a total of 170,000 shirts started during May.
