Refining Department,beginning balance at January 1 Costs added during January Refining Department,ending balance at January 31 What was the cost per equivalent unit with respect to conversion costs for the Refining Department in the month of January? (Use the weighted-average method,and round your calculations to the nearest cent. )

The Assembling Department of Mat Liners,Inc.had 8,000 units in process on December 1 and received 11,000 units from the Sewing Department.Calculate the number of units to account for by the Assembling Department for December.

Under the first-in,first-out (FIFO)method,prior period costs are not merged with current period costs.

WSP Manufacturing produces a pesticide chemical and uses process costing.There are three processing departments-Mixing,Refining,and Packaging.On January 1,the first department-Mixing-had no beginning inventory.During January,40,000 fl.oz.of chemicals were started in production.Of these,32,000 fl.oz.were completed and 8,000 fl.oz.remained in process.In the Mixing Department,all direct materials are added at the beginning of the production process,and conversion costs are applied evenly through the process. At the end of the month,WSP calculated equivalent units.The ending inventory in the Mixing Department was 60% complete with respect to conversion costs.With respect to conversion costs,how many equivalent units were calculated for the product that was completed and for ending inventory?
