Tasman Beverage Company uses the weighted-average method in its process costing system. Materials are included at the start of the production process but conversion costs are uniformly applied throughout the production process. The following data about the Packaging Department were taken from the company's accounting records:

In 1 January 2016, there were 20,000 units in the work in process inventory that were 40% completed and 150,000 units in the finished goods inventory.

The company sold 300,000 units during January.

Sales price per unit is $7.00. Assume the average total cost per unit is same for all finished units(i.e total cost per equivalent unit).

There were 32,000 units, which were 75% complete as to conversion costs, in the work in process inventory and 120,000 units in the finished goods inventory at the end of January.

Cost data are summarized below:

WIP 1 January 2016		Cost per equivalent unit
Direct Materials	$ 34,900	Materials	$2.45
Conversion costs	$ 41,500	Conversion	$3.15

Required:

1. How many units were transferred from the Packaging Department to the Finished Goods Department during the month?
