Eve Cosmetics Company consists of two departments, Blending and Filling. The Filling Department received 50,000 ounces from the Blending Department. During the period, the Filling Department completed 46,000 ounces, including 4,000 ounces of work in process at the beginning of the period. The ending work in process inventory was 8,000 ounces. How many ounces were started and completed during the period?

The number of ounces started and completed during the period is 42,000 ounces.

Explanation:

The number of ounces started and completed during the period can be computed by simply deducting the beginning work in process from the number of ounces completed.

Since we have the following from the question:

Number of ounces completed by Filling = 46,000 ounces

Beginning work in process = 4,000 ounces

Therefore, we have:

Number of ounces started and completed = Number of ounces completed by Filling - Beginning work in process = 46,000 ounces - 4,000 ounces = 42,000 ounces

Therefore, the number of ounces started and completed during the period is 42,000 ounces.
