Case 1—All materials are added at the beginning of the process, and labor and factory overhead are added evenly throughout the process.

Case 2—One-half of the materials are added at the start of the manufacturing process, and the balance of the materials is added when the units are one-half completed. Labor and factory overhead are applied evenly during the process.

Make the following computations for each case:

a. Unit cost of materials, labor, and factory overhead for the month.
