Brilliant Chemical Company has three departments. In the second department, all direct materials are placed in mixing at the end of the process and conversion costs occur evenly during the process. Brilliant Chemical Company placed 300,000 liters of direct materials into the mixing process. At the end of the September, 10,000 liters were still in process, 30% converted as to labor and factory overhead. Brilliant Chemical Company uses weighted-average method.

Determine the equivalent units in process for direct materials and conversion costs (respectively), assuming there was no beginning inventory.

300,000; 293,000

290,000; 293,000

293,000; 290,000

300,000; 290,000

Determine the equivalent units in process for direct materials and conversion costs (respectively),, assuming that 12,000 liters of chemicals were 40% complete prior to the addition of the 300,000 liters.
