1. Unit Cost and Cost Assignment, Nonuniform Inputs
Loran Inc. had the following equivalent units schedule and cost for its fabrication department during September:
| Materials | Conversion | ||
| Units completed | 180,000 | 180,000 | |
| Add: Units in ending WIP x Fraction complete | 77,000 | 40,040 | |
| (77,000 x 52%) | |||
| Equivalent units of output | 257,000 | 220,040 | |
| Costs: | |||
| Work in process, September 1: | |||
| Materials | $147,000 | ||
| Conversion costs | 7,875 | ||
| Total | $154,875 | ||
| Current costs: | |||
| Materials | $1,141,000 | ||
| Conversion costs | 319,885 | ||
| Total | $1,460,885 |
Required:
1. Calculate the unit cost for materials, for conversion, and in total for the fabrication department for September. If required, round your answers to the nearest cent.
| Unit materials cost | $fill in the blank 1 |
| Unit conversion cost | $fill in the blank 2 |
| Total unit cost | $fill in the blank 3 |
2. Calculate the cost of units transferred out and the cost of EWIP. Round unit cost value to the nearest cent in intermediate calculations. If required, round final answers to the nearest dollar.
| Cost transferred out | $fill in the blank 4 |
| Cost of ending work in process | $fill in the blank 5 |
2. Nonuniform Inputs, Transferred-In Cost
Drysdale Dairy produces a variety of dairy products. In Department 12, cream (transferred in from Department 6) and other materials (sugar and flavorings) are mixed at the beginning of the process and churned to make ice cream. The following data are for Department 12 for August:
| Production: | |
| Units in process, August 1, 25% complete* | 40,000 |
| Units completed and transferred out | 120,000 |
| Units in process, August 31, 50% complete* | 30,000 |
*With respect to conversion costs.
1. Prepare a physical flow schedule for the month.

| For the Month of August | |
| Units to account for: | |
| Units in beginning work in process | fill in the blank |
| Units started | fill in the blank |
| Total units to account for | fill in the blank |
| Units accounted for: | |
| Units transferred out | fill in the blank |
| Units in ending work in process | fill in the blank |
| Total units accounted for | fill in the blank |
2. Using the weighted average method, calculate equivalent units for the following categories: transferred-in, materials, and conversion.
| Transferred-In | fill in the blank equivalent units |
| Materials | fill in the blank equivalent units |
| Conversion | fill in the blank equivalent units |
