Work in process, July 31 (30% complete) . . . 80,000
Materials are added at the beginning of the process in Department A. Using the weighted-average method, what are the equivalent units of production for the month of July?
b. Department B is the second stage of Boswell Corporation's production cycle. On November 1, beginning work in process contained 50,000 units, which were 30 percent complete as to conversion costs.
