Answer 1

Answer:

d. 48,000

Explanation:

Beginning work in process, (60% completed) 5,000

• direct materials 100%
• conversion costs 60%

Units started in April 48,000

Ending work in process, (30% completed) 4,000

• direct materials 100%
• conversion costs 30%

under FIFO method, net actual production of units respect to direct materials = units started in April 48,000

The units in beginning inventory were already 100% complete regarding direct materials because they are added at the beginning of the production process. The same for the units in ending inventory.
