4. Process Costing Equivalent units of production, Weighted Average Method (7pts): The Lost Moon of Poosh, Inc. is a sports drink manufacturer who uses process costing to account for its production costs each period. The Lost Moon of Poosh uses two departments in the production of its product Blending and Bottling. The following is information obtained for the Blending department for the month of January:

At the end of January, as of January 31st, there were 17,300 units left in ending WIP inventory. These partially completed units were 75% complete with respect to DM and 40% complete with respect to Conversion Costs. Use the Weighted-Average method to answer the questions below.
