**Austin Co.** manufactures a product called *Aster* in a three-process series. All materials are introduced at the beginning of the first process. Austin uses the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method of inventory costing. Below is the unit and cost data for the first process (Department A) for the month of December:
| **Units** | **Completion** | **Cost** |
|-----------------------|----------------|-------------|
| Work in process inventory: | | |
| December 1 | 12,000 | 60% | $140,400 |
| December 31 | 5,000 | 40% | ? |
| **Started in December:** | **14,000** | | |
| Direct materials cost | | $106,400 |
| Conversion cost | | $70,310 |
| **Completed in December:** | **21,000** | | ? |
**Required:**
Prepare Austin's Department A cost of production report for December. Round cost per equivalent unit to two decimal places and the other answers to the nearest dollar. If an answer is zero, enter "0".

#### Explanation of the Data:
- **Units and Completion:** The table lists the number of units at various stages of completion at the beginning and end of December.
- On December 1, there were 12,000 units in process, with 60% completion.
- On December 31, 5,000 units were still in process, with 40% completion.
- During December, an additional 14,000 units were started.
- A total of 21,000 units were completed during December.
- **Cost Information:**
- Materials cost for the process in December amounted to $106,400.
- Conversion costs, which include labor and overhead, amounted to $70,310.
#### Tasks:
*Prepare Austin's Department A cost of production report for December* involves several steps:
- Calculate the equivalent units for materials and conversion.
- Assign costs to units completed and units still in process at month-end.
- Apportion costs using the FIFO method.
This report will help in understanding how the costs are distributed within the production process and assist in managerial decision-making.
