Pacific Ink had beginning work-in-process inventory of $754,960 on October 1. Of this amount, $309,920 was the cost of direct materials and $445,040 was the cost of conversion. The 53,000 units in the beginning inventory were 25 percent complete with respect to both direct materials and conversion costs. During October, 112,000 units were transferred out and 35,000 remained in ending inventory. The units in ending inventory were 75 percent complete with respect to direct materials and 35 percent complete with respect to conversion costs. Costs incurred during the period amounted to $2,687,500 for direct materials and $3,429,900 for conversion.

Required:

(1) Compute the equivalent units for the materials and conversion cost calculations.

(2) Compute the cost per equivalent unit for direct materials and for conversion costs using the FIFO method.
