1. Calculate equivalent units for materials and conversion costs. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit for materials and conversion costs. Calculate the costs assigned to the beginning inventory, the units started and completed, and the ending inventory.

2. Assuming that the July 1 work in process inventory includes $22,120 of direct materials, determine the increase or decrease in the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion between February and July. If required, round your answers to the nearest cent.

Solution 2:

Cost per equivalent unit of material in june = $22,120 / 7900 = $2.80

Cost per equivalent unit of conversion in june = ($25,912 - $22,120) / (7900*3/5) = $0.80

Change in direct materials cost per equivalent unit from june to july = $2.90 - $2.80 = $0.10 increase

Change in conversion cost per equivalent unit from june to july = $0.70 - $0.80 = $0.10 decrease
