Pacific Ink had beginning work-in-process inventory of $802,560 on October 1. Of this amount, $335,200 was the cost of direct materials and $467,360 was the cost of conversion. The 59,000 units in the beginning inventory were 25 percent complete with respect to both direct materials and conversion costs.

During October, 124,000 units were transferred out and 41,000 remained in ending inventory. The units in ending inventory were 75 percent complete with respect to direct materials and 35 percent complete with respect to conversion costs. Costs incurred during the period amounted to $3,094,000 for direct materials and $3,893,400 for conversion.

Required:

a. Compute the equivalent units for the materials and conversion cost calculations.

b. Compute the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and for conversion costs using the weighted-average method.

c. Compute the costs of goods transferred out and the ending inventory using the weighted-average method. (Round intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

A person with mass m₁ = 68 kg stands at the left end of a uniform beam with mass m₂ = 109 kg and a length L = 2.5 m. Another person with mass m₃ = 50 kg stands on the far right end of the beam and holds a medicine ball with mass m₄ = 8 kg (assume that the medicine ball is at the far right end of the beam as well). Let the origin of our coordinate system be the left end of the original position of the beam as shown in the drawing. Assume there is no friction between the beam and floor.

1. What is the location of the center of mass of the system?

2. The medicine ball is throw to the left end of the beam (and caught). What is the location of the center of mass now?

3. What is the new x-position of the person at the left end of the beam? (How far did the beam move when the ball was throw from person to person?)

4. To return the medicine ball to the other person, both people walk to the center of the beam. At what x-position do they end up?
