Question 10

PM Manufacturing produces a chemical pesticide 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,37,000 fl.oz.of chemicals were started in production.Of these,30,000 fl.oz.were completed,and 7,000 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.The weighted-average method is used.
At the end of the month,PM calculated equivalent units in the Mixing Department as shown below:
 
* Percent complete for direct materials costs: 100%
Percent complete of completion for conversion costs: 60%
During January,the Mixing Department incurred $50,000 in direct materials costs and $213,400 in conversion costs.How much was the cost per equivalent unit for materials and for conversion costs?
