information pertains to the Packaging Department for the month of July.

${?}^a$ This is the cost of goods completed and transferred out of the Mixing Department in July using the

weighted$-$average method.

Required:

Determine the number of units started in July.

Compute the equivalent units using the weighted$-$average method.

Compute the cost per equivalent unit using the weighted$-$average method.

Compute the costs of goods transferred out and the ending work$-$in$-$process inventory using the

weighted$-$average method.
