a$.$ How much more $($percentage amount$)$ needed to be done to the beginning work in process units to make the units complete to transfer to the next department? Did these units require more material cost or more conversion cost? How much, in terms of cost$,$ had been done to these units in the prior period? In order for units to be transferred to the next department, the units have to be complete with respect to both materials and conversion. When are materials added in the process? How complete are the units in ending inventory with respect to materials? How complete are the units in ending inventory with respect to conversion? Materials and conversion cost needs to be allocated among the equivalent units. Are the numbers of equivalent units the same for materials and conversion?

b$.$ Compare the costs per equivalent unit for July and August. The July costs per equivalent unit for materials and conversion are in the August $1$ work in process inventory.The debits to Work in Process$-$Roasting Department for Morning Brew Coffee Company for August, together
