1. Calculate equivalent units for materials and conversion costs. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit for materials and conversion costs. Calculate the costs assigned to the beginning inventory, the units started and completed, and the ending inventory.

2. Assuming that the July 1 work in process inventory includes $16,060 of direct materials, determine the increase or decrease in the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion between February and July. If required, round your answers to the nearest cent.

Part-2

Cost per equivalant unit of material in opening WIP = $16060/ 7300 = $2.20

Cost per equivalant unit of material during current period = $2.36

Change in direct materials cost per equivalent unit = $2.30 - $2.20 = $0.10 Increase

Cost per equivalant unit of conversion in opening WIP = ($19126 - $16060) / (7300*3/5) =

Cost per equivalant unit of material during current period = $0.70

Change in direct materials cost per equivalent unit = $0.70 - $0.60 = $0.10 Decrease

Let me know if any doubt in solution, kindly mark positive rating it would help me lot.
