Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The number of equivalent units for direct materials in the Finishing Department is calculated by adding the units completed and transferred out (29,000 units) to the equivalent units for the ending work in process inventory. The ending work in process inventory for materials is 4,000 units * 94% = 3,760 units. Therefore, the total equivalent units for direct materials is 29,000 units + 3,760 units = 32,760 units.
