Required
Using the FIFO method, calculate the following:
1-a. Costs per equivalent unit. (Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)
1-b. Cost of goods completed and transferred out. (Do no round your intermediate calculations.
Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar.)
1-c. Costs remaining in the Work-in-Process Inventory account. (Do no round your intermediate
calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest whole dollar.)
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 40 to 60% to lower the unit costs,
how much would unit cost be affected by this request? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F5958257a-7e20-4239-9c35-7600b3f2ee6a%2F0544fb41-c94f-4a0f-804a-4ab68608d20f%2Fuuzjavb_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
