Answer:

Total units accounted for by the Department 49,000

Explanation:

Units charged to production:

Beginning 6,000

Started 43,000*

Total units accounted for by the Department 49,000

*to know the started units with the given data we have to sovle for the started and completed as in-between step:

transferred - beginning = started and completed

42,000 - 6,000 = 36,000

Now, we add the ending WIP

started and completed + ending WIP = started during the period

36,000 + 7,000 = 43,000
