a. Based on the above data, determine each cost listed below. Round "cost per equivalent unit" answers to the nearest cent.
1. Direct materials cost per equivalent unit. | $ |
2. Conversion cost per equivalent unit. | $ |
3. Cost of the beginning work in process completed during March. | $ |
4. Cost of units started and completed during March. | $ |
5. Cost of the ending work in process. | $ |
