Requirement 1. Compute the Fermenting Department's equivalent units of production for direct materials and for conversion costs. Complete the partial production cost report below for the Fermenting Department, showing the equivalent units of production for direct materials and for conversion costs. Requirement 2. Compute the total costs of the units (gallons) (a) completed and transferred out to the Packaging Department, and (b) in the Fermenting Department ending Work-in-Process Inventory. Complete the Production Cost Report that you began in Requirement 1 by calculating the costs per equivalent unit in this step, and then by calculating the the total cost of units completed and transferred out and of units in ending inventory in the following step. (Round the cost per equivalent unit amounts to the nearest cent and all other amounts to the nearest dollar. Abbreviation used: EUP = equivalent units of production.)
