a. How much more (percentage amount) needed to be done to thebeginning work in process units to make the units complete totransfer to the next department? Did these units require morematerial cost or more conversion cost? How much, in terms of cost,had been done to these units in the prior period? In order forunits to be transferred to the next department, the units have tobe complete with respect to both materials and conversion. When arematerials added in the process? How complete are the units inending inventory with respect to materials? How complete are theunits in ending inventory with respect to conversion? Materials andconversion cost needs to be allocated among the equivalent units.Are the number of equivalent units the same for materials andconversion?
b. Compute and evaluate the change in cost perequivalent unit for direct materials and conversion from theprevious month (July). If required, round your answers to thenearest cent.
