Dama Company produces women's blouses and uses the FIFO method to account for its manufacturing costs. The product Dama makes passes through two processes: Cutting and Sewing. During April, Dama's controller prepared the following equivalent units schedule for the Cutting Department:
Direct Materials | Conversion Costs | |||||||
Units started and completed | 40,000 | 40,000 | ||||||
Units, beginning work in process: | ||||||||
12,000 × 0% | — | — | ||||||
12,000 × 50% | — | 6,000 | ||||||
Units, ending work in process: | ||||||||
20,000 × 100% | 20,000 | — | ||||||
20,000 × 25% | — | 5,000 | ||||||
Equivalent units of output | 60,000 | 51,000 |
Costs in beginning work in process were direct materials, $25,000; conversion costs, $70,000. Manufacturing costs incurred during April were direct materials, $180,000; conversion costs, $326,400.

2. Compute the cost per equivalent unit for April. If required, round your answer to the nearest cent.
180000/60000 = 3; 326400/51000 = 6.40
$9.40 per equivalent unit
3. Determine the cost of ending work in process and the cost of goods transferred out.
Cost of ending work in process (20000*3+5000*6.4) | $92000 |
Cost of goods transferred out (40000*3+46000*6.4+95000) | $509400 |
4. Prepare the journal entry that transfers the costs from Cutting to Sewing.
