Beginning Inventory of grapes was 200 and 1800 were added during the current period.  The ending inventory was 400 and the conversion completion rate was 60%.  The number of units completed were 1,600.

When using the following formulas why  do we come up with the number 1400, when the total amount of is 2000?
