    1. Calculate the equivalent units for the Forming Department for the month of August.

    direct materials 60,000 units conversion 70,000 units

    2. Find the cost per equivalent of input resource.

    direct materials per unit $2.33 conversion cost per unit $3.61

    Explanation:

    beginning WIP 20,000 units:

    direct materials 100% = 20,000 equivalent units $80,000

    conversion 20% = 4,000 equivalent units $24,000

    total $104,000

    Units completed and transferred 60,000

    Ending WIP = 20,000:

    direct materials 100%

    conversion costs 70% = 14,000 equivalent units

    costs charged:

    Direct materials $140,000

    Direct labor $105,000

    Overhead applied 148,000

    equivalent units:

    direct materials 60,000 since all materials are added at the beginning

    conversion = units started + ending WIP - beginning WIP = 60,000 + 14,000 - 4,000 = 70,000 units

    direct materials per unit = total direct materials / equivalent units = $140,000 / 60,000 = $2.33

    conversion costs per unit = total conversion costs / equivalent units = $253,000 / 70,000 = $3.61
