The equivalent units are given as 12,000 units. To find the work in progress at the end of the period, we subtract the units completed and transferred out from the total equivalent units. Given that 10,000 units were completed and transferred out, we subtract this from the total equivalent units (12,000 units) to find the work in progress at the end of the period: 12,000 - 10,000 = 2,000 units.
