Costs incurred during the period amounted to $2,553,600 for direct materials and $3,326,400 for conversion. Required: a. Compute the equivalent units for the materials and conversion cost calculations. b. Compute the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and for conversion costs using the FIFO method.
