2.(2 marks) QC Company uses an actual process costing system. In Department B, direct materials are entirely added when the conversion process is 50% finished and conversion costs are added uniformly throughout the process. On March 1, there were 6,000 units in work-in process and they were 60% completed as to conversion costs. During March, 43,000 units were transferred from Department A into Department B for processing. On March 31, there were 8,000 units in work-in-process: 3,000 units were 40% complete as to conversion costs and the other 5,000 units were 80% complete as to conversion costs. No spoilage was reported during March.

Using the weighted-average method, the number of equivalent units of production for direct materials for March would be

a.

39,000

b.

40,000

C.
