Ending work in Process (May 31)(b) 160

Total Costs added during May 2013
$3,85,600 $1,748,460

 

(a) degree of comlpetion : direct materials,80%; conversion costs, 35%

 

(b) degree of completion : direct materials,80%; conversion costs,80%

Using FIFO METHOD of process costing instead of weighted-average method.

 

2.Compute equivalent units for direct materials and conversion costs. Show physical units in the first column of your schedule
