Using the FIFO method, calculate the following:
4,100 trusses
1-a. Cost per EU
1-b. Cost of goods completed and transferred out
1-c. Costs remaining in the VIP Inventory account
2
The weighted-average cost per equivalent unit
$10,580
$15,358
18,100 trusses
17,100 trusses

2. Assume that you are the company's controller. The production department's February equivalent unit cost is higher than expected. If
the manager of the first department asks you to do him a favor by increasing the ending Inventory completion percentage from 20 to
40% to lower the unit costs, how much would unit cost be affected by this request? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
