Work-in-process inventory, February 1 3,800 trusses

Direct materials: 100% complete $10,280

Conversion: 40% complete $15,058

Units started during February 17,800 trusses

Units completed during February and transferred out 16,800 trusses

Work-in-process inventory, February 29 Direct materials: 100% complete

Conversion: 20% complete

Costs incurred during February Direct materials $58,840

Conversion $91,892

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 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.)
