Answer:

Equivalent units                   14,100

Explanation:

equivalent units for Department W

transferred-out                          14,000

beginning portion: 2,400 x 1/3 = (800)

ending WIP             1,800 x 1/2  = 900

     Equivalent units                   14,100

As the beginning WIP inventory represent jobs done on a previous period they decrease the amount of equivalent units.
