Explanation / Answer

Calculation of the number of equivalent units of production for conversion costs for the period :

Beginning work in process (4,000 * 40%) = 1,600
Add: Units started and completed = 27,000
Add: Ending work in process (2,000 * 80%) = 800

Equivalent units of production = 29,400
