Pureform, Inc., manufactures a product that passes through two departments. Data for a recent month for the first department follow: Units Materials Labor Overhead Work in process inventory, beginning 77,000 $ 68,900 $ 31,500 $ 43,500 Units started in process 729,000 Units transferred out 750,000 Work in process inventory, ending 56,000 Cost added during the month $ 911,380 $ 388,700 $ 537,140 The beginning work in process inventory was 70% complete with respect to materials and 55% complete with respect to labor and overhead. The ending work in process inventory was 50% complete with respect to materials and 25% complete with respect to labor and overhead. Required: Assume that the company uses the weighted-average method of accounting for units and costs. 1. Compute the equivalent units for the month for the first department.

First department cost per unit for first department    

                        Materials   Labor       Overhead        Total  

Current costs    11,94,765.00     2,88,660.00   5,05,155.00   19,88,580.00  

Equivalent units  7,24,100.00   7,21,650.00   7,21,650.00  

Cost per Equivalent unit   1.65      0.40           0.70         2.75  

The equivalent units for materials,labor and overhead are as follows:

                 Equivalent units

Materials   724,000

Labor         721,650

Overhead  721,650

In addition,the cost per unit for equivalent units are as follows:

Materials  1.65

Labor        0.40

Overhead 0.70

Total          2.75

odd consecutive integers are odd integers that follow each other. they have a difference of 2 between every two numbers. if n is an odd integer, then n, n+2, n+4 and n+6 will be odd consecutive integers. the first number in the pattern is always the variable on its own or in this case, "n". examples.
