Assembly department of Zahra Technologies had 200 units as work in process at the beginning of the month. These units were 45% complete. It has 300 units which are 35% complete at the end of the month. During the month, it completed and transferred 500 units. Direct materials are added at the beginning of production.

Calculate the total equivalent units in ending inventory for assignment of conversion costs?
105 units 300*0.35=105
A golf shoe manufacturer makes and sells thousands of golf shoes each year through two channels: wholesale to sporting good stores and direct to consumers through it's custom portal.
