Braylon Industries uses a process costing system in which direct materials are added at the beginning of the process and conversion costs are incurred uniformly throughout the process. Beginning inventory for March consisted of 1,500 units that were 45% completed. During March, 14,500 units were started into the process. On March 31, the inventory consisted of 750 units that were 80% completed. What would be the equivalent units for direct materials cost using the weighted-average method?
