Insetto Biological 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,40,000 fl.oz.of chemicals were started in production.Of these,31,000 fl.oz.were completed and 9000 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,Insetto calculated equivalent units.The ending inventory in the Mixing Department was 60% complete with respect to conversion costs.With respect to conversion costs,how many equivalent units were calculated for the product that was completed and for ending inventory?

Babette Manufacturing produces plastic toys and uses process costing.There are three processing departments-Assembling,Finishing,and Packaging.On January 1,the Finishing Department had 2000 units of partially processed product in production.During January,31,000 units were transferred in from the Assembling Department and 29,000 units were completed and transferred out.At the end of the month,4000 units of partially processed products remained in the Finishing Department.The weighted- average method is used.See additional details below.
