Weighted Average Method, FIFO Method, Physical Flow, Equivalent Units

Middelton Company manufactures a product that passes through two processes: Fabrication and Assembly. The following information was obtained for the Fabrication Department for October:

1. All materials are added at the beginning of the process.
2. Beginning work in process had 88,900 units, 20 percent complete with respect to conversion costs.
3. Ending work in process had 17,800 units, 30 percent complete with respect to conversion costs.
4. Started in process, 96,700 units.

1. Prepare a physical flow schedule.

Feedback

1. The physical flow schedule traces the units in process regardless of their stage of completion and provides the information needed for preparing the equivalent units schedule.

2. Compute equivalent units using the weighted average method.

Direct Materials	fill in the blank 8a03540d303bfc7_1
Conversion Costs	fill in the blank 8a03540d303bfc7_2

3. Compute equivalent units using the FIFO method.

FIFO method:	Equivalent Units
Direct Materials	fill in the blank 8a03540d303bfc7_3
Conversion Costs	fill in the blank 8a03540d303bfc7_4

2. To calculate equivalent units, weighted average counts prior-period output in BWIP as belonging to the current period. So all completed units are treated as the output of the current period.

3. FIFO treats the work (equivalent output) in BWIP as belonging to the prior period and only counts the work (equivalent output for each input) done this period as part of this period's output.

4. Suppose that the cost of direct materials in beginning work in process is $640,600 and that the direct materials cost incurred for October is $776,400. With these changes, answer the following:

a. What is the unit materials cost for the units in BWIP? Round your answers to the nearest cent. $fill in the blank 5ac56f053027016_1

b. What is the unit materials cost for units produced in October? Round your answers to the nearest cent. $fill in the blank 5ac56f053027016_2

I have number 1 I still need 2-4, please. thanks
