Work-in-process inventory, June 1 5,000 alternators
Direct materials: 100% complete $ 11,480
Conversion: 40% complete $ 16,258
Units started during June 19,000 trusses
Units completed during June and transferred out 18,000 trusses
Work-in-process inventory, June 30
Direct materials: 100% complete
Conversion: 20% complete
Costs incurred during June
Direct materials $ 60,040
Conversion $ 93,092

Required

Using the weighted-average method, calculate the following:

1-a. Costs per equivalent unit. (Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)

1-b. Cost of goods completed and transferred out. (Round "Cost per EU" to 4 decimal places. Round final answer to nearest whole dollars.)

1-c. Costs remaining in the Work-in-Process Inventory account. (Round "Cost per EU" to 4 decimal places. Do not round other intermediate calculations. Round final answer to nearest whole dollars.)

2. Assume that you are the company’s controller. The production department’s June equivalent unit cost is higher than expected. If the manager of the first department asks you to do him a favor by increasing the ending inventory completion percentage from 20 to 40% to lower the unit costs, how much would unit cost be affected by this request? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
