Feedback
 

1. Calculate equivalent units for materials and conversion costs. Calculate the cost per equivalent unit for materials and conversion costs. Calculate the costs assigned to the beginning inventory, the units started and completed, and the ending inventory.

2.  Assuming that the October 1 work in process inventory includes direct materials of $38,295, determine the increase or decrease in the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and conversion between September and October. If required, round your answers to two decimal places.

  Increase or Decrease Amount
Change in direct materials cost per equivalent unit Decrease  $fill in the blank 7071a70ad066f95_2
Change in conversion cost per equivalent unit Increase  $fill in the blank 7071a70ad066f95_4
 

How do I determine increase or decrease for change in direct materials cost per equivalent unit and change in conversion cost per equivalent unit?
