a. 178,200 units

Explanation:

Comple question "A company uses the weighted average method for inventory costing. During a period, a production department had 54,000 units in beginning goods in process inventory which were 33% complete; the department completed and transferred 168,000 units. At the end of the period, 15,000 units were in the ending goods in process inventory and are 68% complete. Compute the number of equivalent units produced by the department. 178,200. 186,320. 183,000. 168,000. 114,000."

Calculation of Equivalent Unit (as per Weighted Method)  

                                                                Unit      % of Completion  Equ. Unit

Unit Completed & Transferred Out    168,000            100%            168,000

Closing WIP                                          15,000               68%             10,200

Total Equivalent Unit                                                                         178,200
