Answer:

14,800 units

Explanation:

To understand units started and completed principle, ask yourself, "Out of the units Started during the year, how many units were Completed?"

Since we are using FIFO the units in Inventory will be worked on first followed by the units introduced in process during the year.

So this can be calculated out of units completed as follows :

Units started and completed = Units Started - Units in Ending Work in Process

therefore,

Units started and completed = 18,600 - 3,800 = 14,800 units

Conclusion :

Units started and completed during the period were 14,800 units.
