Answer:

1. Calculate the equivalent units for the Forming Department for the month of August.

  • direct materials 60,000 units
  • conversion 70,000 units

2. Find the cost per equivalent of input resource.

  • direct materials per unit $2.33
  • conversion cost per unit $3.61

Explanation:

beginning WIP 20,000 units:

direct materials 100% = 20,000 equivalent units $80,000

conversion 20% = 4,000 equivalent units $24,000

total $104,000

Units completed and transferred 60,000

Ending WIP = 20,000:

direct materials 100%

conversion costs 70% = 14,000 equivalent units

costs charged:

Direct materials $140,000

Direct labor $105,000

Overhead applied 148,000

equivalent units:

direct materials 60,000 since all materials are added at the beginning

conversion = units started + ending WIP - beginning WIP = 60,000 + 14,000 - 4,000 = 70,000 units

direct materials per unit = total direct materials / equivalent units = $140,000 / 60,000 = $2.33

conversion costs per unit = total conversion costs / equivalent units = $253,000 / 70,000 = $3.61
