In March, was the Mixing Department's total cost per unit higher or lower than in February?
Higher
For which component was the cost per unit for March higher than in February?
Conversion costs
What is most probably your recommendation to Jonathan Groat given your computations?
Investigate a detailed breakdown of conversion costs to determine the source of the higher per-unit cost.
Journal
On March 31, using the data provided on the Cost of Production, journalize the entry to move the appropriate amount of cost from the Mixing Department to the Baking Department. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
