Alchemy Manufacturing produces a pesticide chemical and uses process costing. There are three processing departmentslong dash$$Mixing$,$Refining$,$ and Packaging. On January$1,$ the first departmentlong dash$$Mixinglong dash$$had no beginning inventory. During$$ January, $42$ comma $00042,000$ fl$.$ oz$.$ of chemicals were started in production. Of$$ these, $34$ comma $00034,000$ fl$.$ oz$.$ were$$ completed, and $8$ comma $0008,000$ 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 weightedminus$$average method is used.

At the end of the$$ month, Alchemy calculated equivalent units of production. The ending inventory in the Mixing Department was $7070\%$ complete with respect to conversion costs. With respect to direct$$ materials, what is the number of equivalent units of production in the ending$$ inventory?
