• The mixing department of a companys output during the period consists of 25,000 units completed and transferred out, and 15,000 units in ending work in process that were 30% complete as to materials and conversion costs. Beginning inventory was 17,000 units that were 15% complete as to materials and conversion costs. How many units were started during the period under weighted average method?
• 27,000
• 25,000
• 23,000

• Noneoftheabove

Can someone explain to me why the answer would be 23,000? Thanks a lot!
