### Cost Per Equivalent Unit Calculation and Cost Assignment

#### Requirements

##### a. Compute Cost Per Equivalent Unit
Calculate the cost per equivalent unit for both direct materials and conversion costs.
* **Note:** Round “Cost per EUP” to 2 decimal places.
  
##### b. Cost Assignment Using Weighted Average Method
Using the weighted average method, assign April’s costs to the department’s output—specifically, its units transferred to the next department and its ending work in process inventory.
* **Note:** Round “Cost per EUP” to 2 decimal places.

### Required a.

#### Cost Per Equivalent Unit of Production: Weighted Average Method

### Explanation

#### Graphs and Diagrams

In this table, we have two sections: "Required a." and "Required b." These sections are designed to help organize and calculate specific accounting-related quantities.

1. **Cost Per Equivalent Unit of Production: Weighted Average Method (Required a. Section):**
   - This section contains a table split into two primary columns: Direct Materials and Conversion.
   - The rows guide you through determining the total costs for beginning work in process inventory and current period costs for both Direct
