Feedback
a. How much more (percentage amount) needed to be done to the beginning work in process units to make the units to complete to transfer to the next department? Did these units require more material cost or more conversion cost? How much, in terms of cost, had been done to these units in the prior period? In order for units to be transferred to the next department, the units have to be complete with respect to both materials and conversion. When are materials added in the process? How complete are the units in ending inventory with respect to materials? How compete are the units in ending inventory with respect to conversion? Materials and conversion cost needs to be allocated among the equivalent units. Are the number of equivalent units the same for materials and conversion?
b. Compute and evaluate the change in cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion from the previous month (July). If required, round your answers to the nearest cent.
