Carbamate Manufacturing produces a pesticide chemical and uses process costing.There are three processing departments-Mixing,Refining,and Packaging.On January 1,the Refining Department had 2000 gallons of partially processed product in production.During January,31,000 gallons were transferred in from the Mixing Department,and 32,000 gallons were completed and transferred out.At the end of the month,1000 gallons of partially processed product remained in the Refining Department.The weighted-average method is used.See additional details below. Refining Department,ending balance at January 31 Percent completed for materials cost: $\quad 90 \%$ Percent completed for conversion cost: $\quad 76 \%$ What was the total number of equivalent units of production for conversion costs for the month of January for the Refining Department?

Alchemy Manufacturing produces a pesticide chemical and uses process costing.There are three processing departments-Mixing,Refining,and Packaging.On January 1,the first department-Mixing-had no beginning inventory.During January,56,000 fl.oz.of chemicals were started in production.Of these,30,000 fl.oz.were completed and 26,000 fl.oz.remained in process.In the Mixing Department,all direct materials are added at the beginning of the production process,and conversion costs are applied evenly throughout the process.The weighted-average method is used. At the end of the month,Alchemy calculated equivalent units.The ending inventory in the Mixing Department was 75% complete with respect to conversion costs.With respect to direct materials,what is the number of equivalent units in the ending inventory?
