Hearty Soup Co. uses a process cost system to record the costs of processing soup, which requires the cooking and filling processes. Materials are entered from the cooking process at the beginning of the filling process. The inventory of Work in Process-Filling on April 1 and debits to the account during April were as follows:

Bal., 700 units, 30% completed:
Direct materials (700 × $4.60) $3,220
Conversion (700 × 30% × $1.75) 368
$3,588
From Cooking Department, 7,400 units $34,780
Direct labor 8,512
Factory overhead 2,464

During April, 700 units in process on April 1 were completed, and of the 7,400 units entering the department, all were completed except 500 units that were 90% completed.

Charges to Work in Process-Filling for May were as follows:

From Cooking Department, 9,500 units $46,550
Direct labor 12,030
Factory overhead 2,834

During May, the units in process at the beginning of the month were completed, and of the 9,500 units entering the department, all were completed except 400 units that were 35% completed.

Required:
1.
(a) Enter the balance as of April 1 in a four-column account for Work in Process-Filling. Record the debits and credits in the account for April.
(b) Construct a cost of production report and present computations for determining
i. equivalent units of production for materials and conversion.
ii. cost per equivalent unit.*
iii. cost of goods finished, differentiating between units started in the prior period and units started and finished in April.*
iv. work in process inventory.*
*If an amount is zero, enter "0". Round your cost per unit answers to the nearest cent and final answers to the nearest dollar amount.
2.
(a) Provide the same information for May by recording the May transactions in the four-column work in process account.
(b) Construct a cost of production report and present the May computations (i through iv) listed in part 1(b).
