1.     In the case above, how would the cost per unit be different if beginning WIP inventory for the month was only 50% complete, instead of 70%?

2.     NOW ASSUME that there was no BEGINNING WIP at the start of August; that is, assume that all 80,000 of the units worked on were started in August, (including the 10,000 of BWIP). This means all costs shown above, including the $13,500 - were also incurred in the current period – August. Repeat requirement 1 using this assumption.

a)     What was the new cost per unit?

b)    Why was this different?

c)     Is this an okay assumption to make? Explain why or why not.
