How many units were started into production in a period if there were zero units of beginning work in process inventory, 3,557 units in ending work in process inventory, and 22,955 completed and transferred out units?

To find out how many units were started into production during the period, we use the following formula:

\[
\text{Units started into production} = \text{Units completed and transferred out} + \text{Ending work in process inventory} - \text{Beginning work in process inventory}
\]

Given:
- Beginning work in process inventory = 0 units
- Ending work in process inventory = 3,557 units
- Units completed and transferred out = 22,955 units

Now, plugging the values into the formula:

\[
\text{Units started into production} = 22,955 + 3,557 - 0 = 26,512 \text{ units}
\]

Therefore, **26,512 units** were started into production during the period.

1. How do beginning and ending inventories affect production planning?
2. What is the difference between units started into production and units completed?
3. How does the work-in-process inventory affect overall production efficiency?
4. How can you calculate units started if some units were already in progress from a previous period?
5. What role does the work-in-process inventory play in cost accounting?

**Tip:** Always check both beginning and ending inventories to get a clearer picture of production flow and efficiency.

Learn how to calculate the number of units started into production using the formula: Units completed and transferred out + Ending WIP - Beginning WIP. In this example, with 0 beginning WIP, 3,557 ending WIP, and 22,955 units completed, the answer is 26,512 units. Ideal for students learning basic production planning and inventory management.
