The opening finished goods inventory for the next year is 80,000 units, with 50,000 equivalent units in beginning W-I-P inventory How many equivalent units should be produced?

  • A. 5,80,000
  • B. 5,50,000
  • C. 5,00,000
  • D. 5,75,000

Explanation

Required production equals sales plus desired closing inventories minus opening inventories: 500,000 + 150,000 + 60,000 − 80,000 − 50,000 = 580,000 equivalent units. Both finished goods and work-in-process inventories must be included.
